Slowthai has been charged with two counts of raping a woman, orally and vaginally, in Oxford, England, in 2021, The Guardian reports. The rapper, born Tyron Kaymone Frampton, appeared in court via video link this morning (May 16) to confirm his name, date of birth, and address in the county of Northampton, according to The Guardian. He was released on bail ahead of a scheduled appearance at a crown court, which deals with more serious offenses, next month.
Pitchfork has emailed Slowthai’s representatives and the Crown Prosecution Service for comment and more information.
