A tattooed rap star who pimped a 15-year-old girl and also held a gun to a woman’s head during oral sex has been jailed by a German court.
Kambo Slice – real name Kamber Baldan – was sentenced to nearly six years behind bars.
The regional court of Dusseldorf found the 32-year-old guilty of pimping, assault, insult, attempted severe forced prostitution and attempted extortion.
He was also accused of rape, sexual abuse of minors and drug trafficking, but these allegations could not be proven.
The rapper is believed to have lured six female victims – all aged under 21 – in a so-called ‘loverboy scam’ before forcing them into prostitution.
He met some of them via Instagram, according to earlier reports.
One of his victims was just 15, though she had apparently told him she was 21.
Baldan was found out after two alleged victims filed a criminal complaint, prompting a police investigation in 2020.
He was arrested during a raid in the district of Flehe, in Dusseldorf, in May 2021.
The authorities confiscated assets worth EUR 75,400 (GBP 63,200) as illegal income. He must also pay two of his victims EUR 2,000 (GBP 1,680) each.
The rapper’s defence had claimed he was innocent and wanted an acquittal.
The prosecutor, however, saw the allegations of rape and forced prostitution as proven and asked for nine years and three months in prison.
The court sentenced the defendant to five years and 10 months in prison. It is unclear if the sentence can be appealed.
