Already serving time in a Louisiana prison for sexual assault, Mystikal has been sentenced to a year in jail on tax charges.
The Associated Press reported on January 13th that the Grammy-nominated rapper (born Michael L. Tyler) has been sentenced to a year in prison plus back taxes and penalties for trying to avoid paying the government $271,000 in taxes.
Last August, Mystikal pled guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failure to file tax returns on earnings of $824,916 in 1998 and $930,953 in 1999.
U.S. District Judge James Brady, who handled sentencing, agreed to allow Mystikal to serve the sentence concurrently with the term for his previous state conviction on sexual battery charges.
Tyler was sentenced to six years in prison for a videotaped attack on his former hairstylist. He pled guilty to forcing the woman to perform oral sex as repayment of a "debt" after accusing her of stealing $80,000 worth of checks from him.
