An appeals court in France has cleared Congolese rumba musician Koffi Olomidé of sexually assaulting four of his former dancers, but convicted him on a separate charge. It overturns a ruling from two years ago that had found him guilty of the statutory rape of one of the dancers when she was 15.
Olomidé, though, was given a suspended 18-month sentence for holding the dancers against their will, at a villa outside Paris between 2002 and 2006. He was also ordered to pay them compensation.
