French Court finds Koffi Olomidé Guilty of Raping 15-year Old Girl

Congolese music star Koffi Olomidé (real name Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba ) has been found guilty of statutory rape for raping one of his dancers when she was 15 years old.

He was handed a two years suspended jail sentence by a court in Nanterre , outside Paris, France . He was sentenced in absentia as he was a no show, BBC reports .

The 62 year-old international music composer, producer and singer now faces an arrest if he commits further offences .

He was ordered to pay a fine of 5,000 Euros in damages to the former dancer and the same amount for illegally bringing three women into France .

Olomidé was first charged in 2012 with aggravated rape, after he was accused of seizing a young lady’s passport and raping her between 2002 and 2006, but the charges were reduced .

Four of his former dancers accused him of sexual assault on multiple occasions between 2002 and 2006 in DR Congo and France .

They also said that Olomidé held them captive in a villa outside Paris but they escaped one night in June 2006.

His lawyer, Emmanuel Marsigny hailed the ruling as a victory because it means the withdrawal of Olomidé ’s international arrest warrant.
