CeeLo Could Be Sentenced to 4 Years In Jail For Drugging A Woman

Cee+Lo+Green

CeeLo Green showed up in court yesterday to face prosecution for alleged rape and drugging of a young woman back in the summer of 2012. CeeLo won’t be charged for sexual assault, but will be prosecuted for giving the woman ecstasy without her consent. If convicted, he could serve 4 years in prison for the official count of “furnishing a controlled substance” which is a felony. Here’s more from CNN about the charges.

Green, 39, “allegedly slipped ecstasy to a 33-year-old female while the two were dining at a downtown Los Angeles restaurant sometime between July 13 and July 14, 2012,” according to a statement from the prosecutor. “The two later went back to the woman’s hotel.”

The district attorney’s office cited insufficient evidence for the decision not to file a charge of rape of an intoxicated person.

Green’s attorney issued a statement Monday afternoon saying she and Green were pleased with the prosecutor’s conclusion “that the evidence did not support the false and unfounded claims made over a year ago. Mr. Green encouraged a full and complete investigation of those claims and he was confident once conducted he would be cleared of having any wrongful intent and it would be established that any relations were consensual,” attorney Blair Berk said.

“CeeLo had faith that if the true facts were known the district attorney would reject those charges.” Green “will responsibly address” the drug charge in court, Berk said.

I don’t quite understand how they didn’t have enough evidence to charge for “rape of an intoxicated person” but have enough to prosecute him for the drug thing. CeeLo pleaded not guilty. He has another hearing in late November.

I expect the Law & Order: SVU episode on this soon.

  • You know the woman is telling the truth because anyone would have to drugged out of there mind to have sex with him ! No one would do it willingly and that’s probably the only way he can get a woman to have sex with him and he clearly knows that because normal people don’t carry drugs on a date so they can drug a woman !

  • Hate to break it to you ladies, but plenty of women will have sex with CeeLo. Why? Because he’s RICH. Money will get women out of clothes very easily.

  • I think Ceelo’s behavior is not acceptable. He is an embarrassment to his son & son’s mother Christine. Why is he bringing a controlled substance on a date? This shows he had an alternate motive . I hope he is charged & hopefully he will learn his lesson.
