Rapper, Cornell Iral Haynes more popularly known as Nelly who was arrested on Saturday morning on rape charges in Aurbun, Washington, has been released without being charged. The 42 year old Grammy winner was arrested at about 4:37 a.m. in his tour bus at a Walmart on suspicion of second-degree rape, indicating force was used or the victim was incapable of consent due to being physically helpless, mentally incapacitated or developmentally disabled.
In an email shortly after his release, his attorney Scott Rosenblum said “Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation. Our initial investigation clearly establishes this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.”
Shortly after his release, the rapper took to his twitter to address the rape issue.
