Fugees Video Director Facing Sex Charges
The man who directed THE FUGEES’ classic KILLING ME SOFTLY video is set to go on trial in New York over allegations he sexually abused five children.
Aswad Ayinde, who won an MTV Award for the 2002 promo, has pleaded not guilty to 27 charges including aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, lewdness, child endangerment, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact.
He will face five trials over the allegations – one for each girl he is alleged to have molested between the mid-1980s and 2002.
The 51 year old – also known as Charles McGill – is being held in custody on a $1 million (£666,667) bond and will face his first trial next month (Apr10), according to the New York Daily News.
Testifying at a pre-trial hearing in New Jersey, the mother of several of his alleged victims told the court, “He was having regular relationships with all the girls.”
