Es stimmt wohl wirklich, dadurch dass er vorerkrankungen und asthma hat wurde er aufgrund der Corona Krise aus dem Haus entlassen und verbüßt den Rest seiner Strafe als Hausarrest.
The rapper, whose legal name is Jayceon Taylor, starred on VH1's Bachelor-esque series She's Got Game. While filming in Chicago in 2015, Taylor took Priscilla Rainey on a date to a sports bar. It wasn't filmed, and she says he sexually assaulted her by repeatedly lifting her skirt and groping her while others in the bar watched.
Rainey confronted him about it on camera (on a tour bus in front of other contestants) and in August 2015 sued for sexual battery.
"Taylor did not take the litigation seriously," writes Circuit Judge TK Sykes, summarizing the case background. "He evaded process, trolled Rainey on social media, dodged a settlement conference, and did not bother to show up at trial. His attorney asked for a continuance, but the judge denied that request, dismissing Taylor’s proffered excuse as an elaborate ruse."
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday affirmed the district court's rulings. It found that Feinerman was justified in his skepticism of Taylor's reason for missing trial (a purported emergency dental procedure).
The panel also found the tour bus video was not only relevant to Rainey's testimony that Taylor assaulted her, but also as impeachment evidence because Taylor denied in his deposition that she ever confronted him.
"The jury’s $1.13 million award represents a fair and reasonable compensation for this intentional tort; it also finds adequate support in the facts established at trial," writes Sykes. "[T]he truly egregious nature of Taylor’s conduct supports the size of this punitive award even with the significant compensatory award. The sheer maliciousness of the tort is extreme. And the public humiliation of this assault, combined with Taylor’s post-assault insults and threats, warrant a substantial punitive award."
