Rapper accused of luring rape victims to empty house where he pretended to live
Clintn Lord was recently accused of raping two women. Now, police are claiming the rapper lured his alleged victims to an empty home in Los Angeles.
Lord, an artist and influencer, was arrested on November 19th and charged with three counts of rape and one count of assault with intent to commit a felony.
Investigators allege he went to a vacant property in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood that had been damaged by the wildfires and pretended to live there.
According to The Los Angeles Times, police say the rapper (real name Clinton Adams) used the property without permission from its owners. He allegedly met women at the house to get them alone and assault them.
The 32-year-old is accused of breaking into the home after it had been vacated due to damage caused by the January fires. Lord allegedly met his victims locally and, knowing the property was vacant, exploited the situation.
Los Angeles Police Department detective, Brent Hopkins, said, “He was transient when we arrested him. The homeowners did not give him permission to be in their home. We believe there may be other victims out there.”
Currently located at Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles County, Lord pleaded not guilty on November 21st and is being held on $1.425 million bail.
The LAPD claims he met two different women and invited them to the home on separate occasions, before sexually assaulting them. The first alleged rape occurred on June 29th, while the second allegedly took place on August 7th and August 8th.
Police released a photo of Lord on December 3rd, believing there could be more victims who have yet to come forward.
