Following his April conviction on several counts of rape and sexual assault, actor Kaalan Walker was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison on Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Walker reportedly lured aspiring models to meet with him through fake professional opportunities and then would assault them. These crimes go back to 2016 and his conviction accounts for assaults of four women and three teenage girls.
He had most recently appeared in the film SuperFly and had credits on the TV series In Contempt. He is also a rapper, and some of the false promises he made to his victims included having them appear in music videos and claiming they would get introduced to a famous friend.
The actor was initially charged with “three counts of forcible rape, two counts of statutory rape and two counts of rape by intoxication,” per the Los Angeles County Da’s office. He was...

Superfly actor and rapper Kaalan Walker was found guilty Monday of raping six victims — three of them 16-year-old aspiring models — and sexually assaulting a seventh woman during a series of what prosecutors called “sophisticated” attacks between 2013 and late 2018.
The actor, who appeared in Kings with Halle Berry in 2017 and played gang member Juju in the 2018 flick Superfly, hung his head and began sobbing as the split verdict from a Los Angeles jury was read. He was acquitted of charges related to three of the 10 victims in the case, including two charges of forcible rape.
