The Grammy-nominated rapper (real name: Michael Taylor) was sentenced to six years behind bars for forcing his hairstylist to perform sexual acts on him.
The 40-year-old victim said that Mystikal and his two bodyguards made her perform oral sex on them after they accused her of stealing $80,000 worth of checks.
Mystikal initially pleaded innocent to the charges, but after police located a videotape the hip-hopster and his hired goons made of the action, the rapper pleaded guilty to charges of sexual battery.
Judge Tony Marabella, who imposed the rapper's sentence, said it was evident from the tape that the victim was "terrorized."
"The court is convinced that the defendant believes he is above the law and can take the law into his own hands," Marabella said.
The rapper originally faced a 10-year sentence, but it was reduced to six years as part of a plea agreement.
The two bodyguards, Leland Ellis and Vercy Carter, also pleaded guilty to sexual battery charges. Ellis received three years behind bars and Carter got four.
