An appeals court in France has cleared Congolese music star Koffi Olomidé of s*xually a*saulting four of his former dancers, but convicted him of holding the women against their will.
The court overturned a 2019 ruling that found him guilty of the statutory r*pe of one of the dancers when she was 15. But he was convicted of depriving the women of their liberty at a villa in Paris between 2002 and 2006, BBC reports.
He is to serve an 18-month sentence and pay a fine of 10,000-32,000 euros ($11,000-36,000) to each dancer. The singer has, however, filed an appeal against the sentence.
