CeeLo Green pleads not guilty to charges he ‘slipped ecstasy into woman’s drink’
CeeLo Green has been charged with giving a woman ecstasy while on a dinner date in a Los Angeles restaurant last year.
The 39-year-old was also alleged to have raped her but the charge was dropped owing to insufficient evidence.
The Forget You singer – real name Thomas DeCarlo Callaway – faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
He pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $30,000.
The 33-year-old woman accused Green of slipping the drug into her drink and said she later woke up naked in his bed, the LA Times reported.
But Green’s lawyer, Blair Berk, said any sexual contact was consensual.
The reality show judge was pleased that the rape charge was rejected and would address the ecstasy charge in court on November 20, she added.
He ‘encouraged a full and complete investigation’ and was ‘confident he would be cleared of having any wrongful intent,’ she wrote.
