AceShowbiz - Kaalan Walker allegedly had used Drake's name to manipulate his sexual assault victims. A prosecutor told jurors in a Wednesday, April 13 trial that the "Superfly" star once name-dropped the Canadian rapper when persuading a 16-year-old girl to film an impromptu sex tape at his apartment.

The girl was reportedly at Kaalan's place to pose for headshots while his mother was waiting outside. Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Wallace additionally claimed that the actor purportedly told the girl that he could introduce her to Drake if he followed his instruction.

The DA said Kaalan separated the teenager from her mom that day in 2017 and began asking about her career aspirations. Since he knew that the girl wanted to be a Victoria's Secret model, Kaalan allegedly told her, "We've got to take more provocative photos. We've got to sexualize you a little bit,' " while convincing her to strip down to her underwear.

"He talked about Drake, taking her to a Drake party. What does he tell her? 'Well, you know what? If you want to do all of these things, if you want to be at parties with Drake, if you want to be a Victoria's Secret model, you know what we have to do? We have to film a sex tape,' " Cynthia pointed out. "He's a 22-year-old man telling a 16-year-old girl, 'We have to film a sex tape.' "

It was unveiled that Kaalan also used Drake's name with other 10 victims. Cynthia told Rolling Stone, "There's no evidence he had any connection to Drake. It was just a thing that he used to lure the girls in. It was a trap, a ruse, his way of getting these girls."

In her testimony, the girl testified that she had resisted "multiple times," but Kalaan "doesn't take no for an answer." Cynthia then added, "He keeps insisting, pushing and persisting, talking over her [until she finally relented]... She said, 'Well, I thought: 'He knows all these people. He's going to help me.' I thought what I was doing was going to help my career.' "

Kaalan, who also appeared in Halle Berry's 2017 indie film "Kings", was arrested in 2018 for allegedly sexually assaulting 30 women, including an underage girl. He, however, has pleaded not guilty to 6 counts of rape, 2 counts of unlawful intercourse with a minor, and multiple felonies. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to life behind bars.
