Freddie Gibbs Acquitted of Sexual Assault Charges in Austria

Freddie Gibbs has been acquitted of sexual assault charges in Austria, his attorney confirmed on Friday morning. News of Gibbs' acquittal was first shared by his manager on Twitter:

Gibbs was formally charged with sexual assault in August in connection with a 2015 incident in Vienna, the Daily Star reported at the time. Gibbs was first arrested on the charges while on tour in France and was eventually released on bail shortly after being charged. According to a statement to the Daily Star from a local court official, Gibbs had been alleged to have "administered knock-out drops to a woman and then have abused her sexually while she was in a defenseless state."

In a statement released to Complex on Friday morning, attorney Theodore Simon confirmed that Gibbs had been found not guilty but was quick to assert that "nothing has changed," as the "actual facts" had always demonstrated that "Freddie was and is 100 percent innocent."
