LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors have charged Cee Lo Green with illegally giving a woman ecstasy while at a dinner in Los Angeles last year.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office charged the singer, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, on Monday. Callaway was charged with one felony count of furnishing a controlled substance. If convicted he faces four years in state prison.
The LA Times reports that the 33-year-old woman accused Green of slipping the drug into her drink, and that she later woke up naked in the singer’s bed.
Prosecutors say they declined to file a rape charge against the singer.
TMZ, citing law enforcement sources, reports that part of the reason a rape charge wasn’t filed is the accuser and Cee Lo were dating at the time, and had already had sex in the past.
The 39-year-old singer is due to be arraigned Monday afternoon.
Callaway is the Grammy winning singer of the hit “Forget You” and performed as part of the duo Gnarls Barkley. He appears as a judge on NBC’s “The Voice” competition show.
The singer’s representatives did not have an immediate comment.
