Rapper Kodak Black gets probation in teen’s assault case

Kodak Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, faces a 10-year suspended prison sentence.

Rapper Kodak Black was sentenced to probation Wednesday for assaulting a teenage girl in a South Carolina hotel room. Kodak Black was originally charged with rape, but accepted a deal and pleaded guilty to first-degree assault at the Florence County courthouse. Kodak Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, faces a 10-year suspended prison sentence. He won’t have to go to prison on the charge as long as he completes 18 months of probation, media outlets reported. The victim in the case watched the plea online, and Kodak Black spoke to her. “I apologise this happened, and I’m hopeful we can all move forward,” he said.
