Rapper Lil Mosey Pleads Not Guilty To Second-Degree Rape Charge
As we previously reported, Seattle rapper Lil Mosey, born Lathan Moses Echols, 19, was recently hit with a second-degree rape charge in Washington State, and now he’s pleading not guilty.
Last week, the rapper was charged in an alleged incident that happened on January 6, 2020 in Randle. It was reported that Mosey and another man, a co-defendant identified as 19-year-old Francisco Prater of Silver Creek, sexually assaulted a woman who met up with them. The woman alleges on a car ride to their final destination, Mosey exposed himself and she consented to sex. However, during their ride, she says she blacked out and later woke up to the rapper and Prater forcibly having sex with her.

While Prater has yet to appear in court, with an active $50,000 warrant out for his arrest, Mosey appeared in Lewis County Superior Court on Tuesday (Apr. 27) where he plead not guilty. He was also given an unsecured bail of $50,000, with amended travel stipulations to allow him to tour internationally this and next year. Mosey faces life in prison if convicted. Meanwhile, his lawyers continue to argue that he was under 18 at the time of the incident, and the prosecutor’s office waited 15 months to file charges. However, Prater was 18-years-old at the time, and the victim was legally an adult.
