Koffi Olomide Court Sexual Assault Kidnap — Koffi Olomide

Congolese iconic singer Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba, popularly known as Koffi Olomidé, has been cleared of all charges related to sexual assault but convicted of kidnapping.

The ex-dancers filed a complaint between 2007 and 2013, accusing Koffi Olomidé of locking them in a pavilion in the Paris suburbs and forcing them to have sex with him, on a regular basis for some.

In a recent update, a French court cleared the Soukus singer, dancer, producer, and composer of sexually assaulting four of his former dancers, but has ordered that the singer serve an 18-month prison sentence for holding the women against their will.

Two Congolese guards, Mbila Kakese, 45, and Ogima Tsasa Nduka, 49, were both sentenced to six months' imprisonment with a three-year probationary period for their complicity in the crime of kidnapping.
