Hip-hop artist and social media personality Clinton Adams, known professionally as Clintn Lord, has been charged with multiple felony offenses arising from allegations that he sexually assaulted two women on separate occasions.
According to a press statement issued by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Adams, age 32, is accused of transporting each woman on different dates to an unoccupied vacation property and committing sexual offenses against them. Court filings from the Los Angeles Superior Court, as reported by the Daily Mail, indicate that Adams has been charged with three counts of forcible rape and one count of assault with intent to commit rape, all classified as felonies. His legal representatives have not yet responded to requests for comment.
Adams was arraigned on November 21 and entered a plea of not guilty. If convicted on all charges, he faces a potential sentence of 90 years to life. He remains in custody with bail set at $1,475,000, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 21, 2026. Prosecutors have asserted that the allegations involve multiple victims, a factor that could enhance the applicable sentencing range.
The alleged incidents occurred on June 29 and August 7–8 of this year. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman stated that the offenses purportedly occurred in an area still affected by the aftermath of the January wildfires and noted that the two women reported the assaults and identified Adams by name.
The LAPD has stated that detectives are seeking to determine whether additional individuals may have been victimized and encouraged anyone with relevant information to contact authorities. Police previously released Adams’ photograph on December 3 due to concerns that other offenses may have occurred. Reports indicate that Adams allegedly brought the women to a residence in Pacific Palisades that had been vacated after sustaining smoke damage from the wildfires, and that he had unlawfully entered the property and falsely represented it as his residence. Detective Brent Hopkins told the Los Angeles Times that the homeowners had not authorized Adams to be in the residence and that Adams was transient at the time of his arrest.
Court and correctional records cited by the Los Angeles Times reflect that Adams was detained by the California Department of Corrections in February of the previous year for a potential parole violation, released following a May 2024 hearing, and later detained—but subsequently released—by authorities in Florida. Records also show that he was arrested in 2021 on weapons-related charges and later received probation pursuant to a plea agreement in 2023. His probation concluded in July 2024, despite a violation earlier that year, and a restraining order was previously entered against him in Florida.
Adams last posted to Instagram on October 30, promoting his album Hell Punk, released on Halloween. In a 2022 interview with Downer’s Club, he described himself as a multifaceted artist engaged in music, video production, cinematography, writing, and graphic design, stating that he seldom collaborates with other artists and emphasizing his commitment to independent creative work.#newsafro_
