Tyron Frampton (slowthai) faces two charges of rape, The Guardian reports. Per their article, the 28-year-old Northampton rapper appeared virtually before Oxfordshire magistrates court on Tuesday (May 16) for a preliminary hearing, speaking only to confirm his name, date of birth, and address. He was reportedly charged with oral and vaginal penetration of a woman without her consent in 2021 in Oxford.
