The rapper was arrested for the alleged offence in June.

Freddie Gibbs has been acquitted of the sexual assault charge brought against him by Austrian authorities in June.

As Pitchfork reports, Gibbs was found not guilty of “sexual abuse of a defenseless or psychologically impaired person.” The rapper’s lawyer issued the news in a statement, saying:

“We are pleased and thankful that the Court recognized the same trust and confidence we and all of his fans have had in Freddie that justified and resulted in his absolute acquittal.

“While we are appreciative of the verdict of not guilty, nothing has changed. The actual facts have always demonstrated that Freddie was and is 100% innocent. It is now self-evident he was wrongly accused.

“The trial has confirmed our belief that after a searching and complete investigation and trial the true and actual facts would be revealed – that there always was an absence of any scientific, physical, or credible evidence that would warrant in any way such an accusation.

“Freddie and his family look forward to returning to the States so he can resume his life and career.”
