Actor and rapper Kaalan Walker was charged with nine felony sexual assault charges Tuesday after he was arrested last month for accusations of sexual assault dating back to 2016, according to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department.
The series of sexual assaults, which all took place in Los Angeles County, involve aspiring models whom Walker contacted under the premise of being hired for professional work. However, once they were alone, each victim reported that Walker sexually assaulted them, police say.
Walker’s charges include five counts of forcible rape, three counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object, and one count of forcible oral copulation, according to court documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times. Walker is also being held on a $1,080,000 bail, and his next court date is scheduled for Nov. 14, People reports.

Another veteran top executive at a Viacom cable network is leaving the company. After a career at Bet spanning three decades, Debra Lee is stepping down from her position as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bet Networks, effective Monday, May 28, 2018. Lee, who began her career with the company as its first VP and General Counsel in 1986, was elevated to President and COO in 1996 and became Chairman and CEO in 2005.
Lee’s exit is not completely surprising. Viacom laid the groundwork for the move in December when Scott M. Mills was named Bet president, a role in which he would oversee overall strategy and day-to-day operations of Bet Networks including oversight of the brand’s programming, ad sales and digital teams. At the time, Lee was set to continue in her chairman and CEO role but was going to step back from running the network, and was to serve as an advisor to Mills.
