Sky Balla Charged with Sexual Assault as New Victims Emerge
BREAKING NEWS: Bay Area rapper Sky Nathan Branklyn, professionally known as “Sky Balla,” faces two counts of sexual assault following harrowing allegations from three women in Las Vegas. The rapper, aged 45, was charged after incidents at the Aria Resort that have left the community shaken.
Court records reveal that these allegations stem from a violent encounter at the High Limit Lounge in 2021, where a woman reported being assaulted after consuming alcohol with the rapper. She stated that after losing consciousness, she was violently attacked when she attempted to resist. Disturbingly, she described regaining consciousness only to find him continuing the assault.
The Las Vegas Police Department found significant blood in the hotel room after housekeeping reported a potential biohazard the following day. According to investigators, the stains were initially dismissed as spilled wine, but multiple staff members insisted they were blood, raising serious concerns about the severity of the incidents.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS: As this case unfolds, two additional victims have come forward, detailing separate assaults by Sky Balla dating back to 2008. One victim reported that he offered her a ride but instead took her to an apartment complex where she faced a brutal attack. Another victim, only 17 at the time, recounted a terrifying experience where he assaulted her after visiting her home.
These accounts add weight to the prosecution’s case, as a jury trial is set for February 9, 2024. The emotional impact of these stories is profound, highlighting a pattern of predatory behavior that has caused lasting trauma for the victims.
Authorities are urging anyone with additional information to come forward as public scrutiny intensifies. The implications of this case extend beyond the courtroom, raising awareness about sexual violence and the importance of supporting survivors.
