Mystikal is facing sexual assault allegations once again in his home state of Louisiana. The Shreveport Police Department has charged the rapper with rape, according to KSLA News 12.

Mystikal, born Michael Lawrence, was initially being sought after by police for the incident that is alleged to have happened on Oct. 22 of last year in a downtown Shreveport casino.

According to the report, investigators collected evidence at the scene matching Mystikal and 26-year-old Averweone Holman.

Holman was arrested in Killeen, Texas on Friday (Aug. 18) by U.S. Marshalls. There is a third person involved in connection with the alleged crime. Shreveport police are also looking for Tenichia Wafford, 42, of Harker Heights, Texas.

Police say she tried to persuade the victim to retract her story. She faces a charge of accessory after the fact to first-degree rape. Her bond is set at $200,000.

Mystikal and Holman have both been charged with one count of first degree rape. Their bond has been set at $2 million.

This of course is not the first time the former No Limit rapper has faced these type of charges. Mystikal spent six years in prison for sexual battery before being released in 2010 and signing to Cash Money Records the following year.

More is developing on this story.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.

Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.

Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.

While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
