Actor Kaalan Walker was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for sexual assault on Monday.

Walker, 27, was arrested in 2018 and charged with multiple counts of raping aspiring models in incidents dating back to 2016.

The actor, who is also a rapper, is accused of contacting four women and three teenage girls on Twitter and Instagram, and asking them to connect with him offline.

Walker promised them opportunities in the movie industry after luring them with promises of meeting rapper Drake and actress Halle Berry.

When he got the women alone, prosecutors say, he forcibly raped them. “When they said, ‘Stop,’ he didn’t care,” Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi said in court, according to City News Service and NBC Los Angeles.

More than 30 Instagram models came forward with allegations of rape and assault by Walker.

A Van Nuys, California jury found Walker guilty on April 18 on several counts of rape and assault. He was found not guilty of one count of digital penetration and two counts of forcible rape.

When the jury announced the verdict, Walker yelled “I didn’t rape no one!”

Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino sentenced the actor to 50 years to life in prison on Monday.

Judge Brandolino ordered Walker to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, according to MSN News.

Walker is known for a small part in the movie SuperFly, and for dating actress Halle Berry. The two actors met on the set of his film debut in Kings in 2017.
