Popular Congolese singer Koffi Olomide has been sentenced to eighteen months in prison by a court in France for the kidnapping of his former dancers.
The Versailles Court in France made the sentence after finding him guilty of holding four women, his former dancers against their will.
Koffi Olomide denied the accusations by his former dancers, saying “the dream of the young women who accuse me was to live in France and obtain papers from associations.”
He was however cleared of the sexual assault charges he had earlier on been charged with on the same dancers.
The court cleared him of the rape allegations because of the conflicting evidence presented.
The alleged sexual assault on the dancers had allegedly been perpetrated between 2002 and 2006 at his home in the Paris region.
This is however not the first time the Quartier Latin band boss, Koffi Olomide will be having a problem with the law, in 2016, he was expelled from Kenya following a public assault on one of his dancers. He later apologized, acknowledging “a little moment of distraction.”
While in 2018, Zambia issued a warrant of arrest against him for assaulting a photographer.
