The 27-year-old rapper was convicted in 2013 on charges brought by three teenage girls and four women.
Walker was charged with three counts of forcible rape, two counts of statutory rape, and two counts of rape by intoxication, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
The Superior Court Judge, Joseph Brandolino, also ordered him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
The Superfly actor was arrested on these charges in 2018, but was released on bail.
According to reports, he used his Instagram and Twitter accounts to contact women, including aspiring models, and promise them opportunities and connections with people who could help their modeling career.
He would lure the women to his location by pretending to be in a music video, seduce them, and then sexually assault them.
Walker’s defense lawyer, Andrew Flier, speaking on the case said,
“The pattern of Mr. Walker is to make false promises and they bought it. … Each one of these women voluntarily made their own decisions. “He didn’t force them. … It’s payback to Mr. Walker and we’re not going to let that happen.”
Walker made his acting debut in “Kings,” a drama television series starring Halle Berry and Daniel Craig, before landing a two-episode arc on “In Contempt” and a role in the remake of the 1970s thriller SuperFly.
