Charges included one count of assault with an automatic firearm.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón was quoted in a press release commending Megan Thee Stallion for speaking out. “Women, especially Black women, are afraid to report crimes like assault and sexual violence because they are too often not believed,” Gascón said. “This trial, for the second time this month, highlighted the numerous ways that our society must do better for women.”
