The Delta State Police has not released any official statement regarding the matter as of the time of filing this report.
The horrific incident took place on Sunday, January 28, at the hotel where he and his fellow crew members camped for a movie shoot.
He reportedly took the minor into a hotel room to change her outfit for the next scene. However, he took longer than usual, prompting the movie producer to send someone to check on them.
Regrettably, the girl was found crying profusely with bloodstains all over the floor. Apparently, C Prince had forced himself on her after asking her to strip for a costume change.
In a video making rounds online, C Prince can be seen being interrogated and was stripped naked by furious eyewitnesses. The hotel room was also covered in the victim’s blood.
