AceShowbiz - Lil Mosey has been acquitted of second-degree rape. The 21-year-old "Stuck in a Dream" rapper - whose real name is Lathan Moses Stanley Echols - faced a legal battle after a woman claimed she and her girlfriend were raped by him and another man in 2021 after they met at a cabin, but he was cleared on Thursday, March 2 by a jury.
According to TMZ, he entered a not-guilty plea to the charges, stood trial in Washington, and had passed a lie detector test with "flying colours" as part of the case. "Mr. Echols did not commit this crime, and we intend to work hard to clear his name," his attorneys Amy Muth and Jennifer Atwood said at the time the allegations were made.
Lil Mosey, who made it to number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his single "Blueberry Faygo", was potentially facing a maximum sentence of life in jail if convicted and maintained his innocence throughout proceedings.
An affidavit obtained by TMZ showed the woman who accused the rapper told authorities she consented to having sex with Lil Mosey in a vehicle. But when they were in a cabin together later, she said she blacked out after drinking and alleged she regained consciousness to find the rapper on top of her and having sex with her.
She added she passed out a second time and awoke to find another man having sex with her. The affidavit also said the victim stated she suffered injuries including bruising on her arm, neck and inner knee.
Another woman who was at the party with the woman, aged 20 at the time, reported she woke up partially clad and was told she had intercourse, but had no memory of it.
