  • A further court date is set for Jan. 21, 2026, with the trial projected to begin later in 2026.
  • He is charged with first-degree rape and false imprisonment, and an inmate listing also notes amphetamine possession, with his booking recorded on July 31, 2022.
  • Mystikal has pleaded not guilty and has been held without bail since his 2022 arrest.
