Michael Tyler, better known as rapper Mystikal, was arrested on Thursday (7-18) in Louisiana on charges of rape and extortion along with two other suspects, Leland Ellis and Vercy Carter.  Tyler is currently out of jail on $250,000 bail. 

The charges stem from a July 3rd incident at the rapper�s home where his hair stylist claims that she was forced to have sex with Mystikal under a threat that he would have her prosecuted for accepting a check drawn on his account from another individual who had stolen the check out of his check book. 

According to police, Mystikal threatened to press charges against the victim for her involvement in the check writing scam, then forced her to perform oral sex on him before calling up the two other defendants, Ellis and Carter. When the two men arrived they witnessed Mystikal allegedly raping the women again, he then reportedly forced the women to perform oral sex on him before the other two men joined in, taking turns raping the victim. 

The latest development in the case unfolded on Friday, when Police revealed that they confiscated a video tape of the alleged rape. According to Police, once Ellis arrived on the scene, Mystical ordered Ellis to video tape the rapper engaging in sexual acts with the victim. The tape reportedly was turned on and off during the time of the multiple rapes but is said to include footage of all three men having sexual contact with the 40-year-old hairstylist.
