Kodak Black’s Sexual Assault Case Still Pending Despite Trump’s Pardon

American rapper, Kodak Black is supposed to be out of federal prison after he was pardoned by former President Donald Trump in his federal gun-related charges, but prosecutors in South Carolina are reportedly going after him in a sexual assault case.

Recall that the 23-year-old Florida rapper was indicted in South Carolina on a felony charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2016.

Ed Clements, the 12th Circuit Solicitor in Florence County, has said that even though Kodak’s case and other court proceedings have been disrupted by COVID-19, prosecutors will be “aggressively” pursuing a plea deal or a trial for Black.

Prosecutors in South Carolina has claimed that Kodak, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, forced himself onto an 18-year-old woman after a concert in 2016. The victim claimed Black bit her neck, breast and raped her, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ.

Beattie Ashmore, Kodak’s attorney in South Carolina reacted in a statement and said, “Aggressively prosecute? It’s been four years. That speaks volumes. Kodak was on bond and on tour for two years before his federal case even began. Ed’s a very fine and experienced prosecutor and I look forward to once again speaking with him about this case. It’s been a while.”

Kodak faces up to 30 years in state prison if convicted.
