Gary, Indiana rapper, Freddie Gibbs , was acquitted on sexual assault charges that he received in Vienna, Austria in July 2015. The artist spent four months between French and Austrian jails, and he will now be returning to America following the court’s decision.
The rapper had been charged after a woman claimed he spiked her and a friend’s drinks at a hotel in Vienna. The Vienna regional court sided with Freddie Gibbs in the case after determining a lack of evidence in the case. Gibbs’ Austrian lawyer, Thomas Krakik states:
“There is no objective proof that Freddie Gibbs had sex with this woman…Independent witnesses like the hotel receptionist and a hotel guest have stated that the women were tipsy but definitely still able to walk on their own two legs.”
The rapper’s American Lawyer, Theodore Simon states,
“We have always maintained unconditionally and without any doubt that Freddie would be and now has been fully exonerated and completely vindicated. We are pleased and thankful that the Court recognized the same trust and confidence we and all of his fans have had in Freddie that justified and resulted in his absolute acquittal.”
He continues:
“While we are appreciative of the verdict of not guilty, nothing has changed. The actual facts have always demonstrated that Freddie was and is 100% innocent. It is now self-evident he was wrongly accused. The trial has confirmed our belief that after a searching and complete investigation and trial the true and actual facts would be revealed – that there always was an absence of any scientific, physical, or credible evidence that would warrant in any way such an accusation. Freddie and his family look forward to returning to the States so he can resume his life and career.”
