Abduction of a minor
In 2015, Sixnine was charged with statutory rape thanks to a video in which he was in touch with a 13-year-old girl. The rapper pleaded guilty at the time. Nevertheless, the star testifies that he did not have sexual intercourse with the girl and that he did not know that she was under 18 years old. The judge thus forbids Sixnine to broadcast on social networks the various images or videos sexually explicit and violent that show women or children.
Likewise, he warns him not to commit any risk in the following years. In addition, Sinine will have to write a letter to the victim to apologize. In addition, Sixnine will also have to pass an exam called General Educational Development. If he fails to comply with these conditions, he will be sentenced to three years in prison. Unfortunately, Sixnine failed this exam because of the difficulty of the scientific subjects of the exam.
Thanks to his lawyer, he was able to get a second chance from the judge. April 18, 2018 was the retrial date obtained by his advocate. This date was then postponed, as the rapper’s exam results were unavailable. In addition, another complaint arises in 2020. It is still the same little girl of 13 years who accuses Sixnine for the same facts. The complaint was based on a sexual assault of a minor.
Arrest and collaboration of Sixnine with the justice
Sixnine was arrested on November 18, 2018 with a total of 17 charges. He was not only suspected of drug trafficking, but also of robbery and belonging to a violent group in New York. The rapper was facing 47 years in prison with no parole. The charges were extremely serious and could lead to life imprisonment for the rapper. After being arrested, Sixnine completely denied the charges. However, during the December 2019 trial, the rapper pleads guilty.
In order to receive a reduced sentence, he cooperates with the justice. Thus, he denounces and condemns the other members of the group. This allows him to take only two years in prison. On the other hand, the artist had regrets about his past, especially about being a member of this violent group. He testified at his trial and had explained the risks of his decision and that the group would certainly come after him.
To ensure his safety, the justice system offered him the witness protection program. Sixnine initially refused this protection, but with the death threats he was receiving, the artist was forced to accept. Before his trial, he was first detained at the Detropolitant Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. He was transferred to another detention center kept secret and unknown by the media to protect him.
He was released on April 2, 2020 to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. This decision was made because of the ravages of the covid-19 pandemic. Several other prisoners were in the meantime released and transferred to house arrest. The artist suffered from asthma and became vulnerable to this disease. Sixnine finishes his sentence and is free again since July 31, 2020.

Pi’erre Bourne
