Lil Reese has been sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of assaulting a family member. The Chicago rapper, whose real name is Tavares Taylor, received the sentence on October 16 in Harris County, Texas. His projected release date is set for February 6, 2029, although he will be eligible for parole in August 2026.
The conviction stems from an incident that occurred on March 9, 2022. While specific details of the assault remain unclear, it was reported that Lil Reese was arrested nearly two months later in May 2022, at which point he was held on a $60,000 bond.
Since that incident, Lil Reese has encountered further legal issues, including a recent arrest in September for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend at a Houston strip club. Authorities reported that during the altercation, Reese attempted to kiss the woman multiple times, and when she rejected him, he allegedly became violent, punching her in the face and choking her until she struggled to breathe.
Following the incident, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was taken into custody on September 29 without bond. Earlier in the year, he faced accusations of rape, but that case was dismissed by a judge. Lil Reese publicly addressed the dismissal on social media, claiming innocence and expressing frustration over the allegations.
