A Los Angeles-based rapper who acted in the 2018 movie \u201cSuperFly\u201d was sentenced Monday to 50 years to life in prison after he was convicted of sexually assaulting seven victims \u2014 including three minors.<\/p>\n

Kaalan Walker, 27, was also ordered to register as a lifetime sex offender for a series of crimes dating back to 2013, according to\u00a0City News Service.<\/p>\n

The performer was convicted of three counts of forcible rape, two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, two counts of rape of an intoxication victim and one count of assault with intent to commit oral copulation by a Van Nuys jury on April 18.<\/p>\n

Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Wallace said she believes Walker is \u201ctruly a predator\u201d for his assaults on young women and teenagers between 2013 and 2018, according to City News Service.<\/p>\n

Walker used Instagram and Twitter to find his victims \u2014 who were often aspiring models and actresses \u2014 and lure them to locations by saying he had booked them for photo shoots and music video productions that never happened.<\/p>\n

Instead the rapper raped as well as assaulted the women and underage girls, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they said \u2018Stop,\u2019 he didn\u2019t care,\u201d Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi told the jury of Walker during the trial in March, the news service reported.<\/p>\n

Walker\u2019s attorney said he didn\u2019t force the women and girls and that they were seeking revenge against his client for the false promises he made of music shoots and opportunities to meet his famous and well-connected friends.<\/p>\n

The lawyer, Andrew Flier, added that the rapper\u2019s career has been ruined and that he has suffered \u201ca living nightmare\u201d due to the allegations he was later convicted of.<\/p>\n

Walker \u2014 who also appeared in the 2017 film \u201cKings\u201d starring Halle Berry and Daniel Craig \u2014 was arrested in September 2018 and released on bond. He was taken into custody again after he was found guilty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
