ATLANTA — A witness in the ongoing “Young Slime Life” trial against Atlanta rapper Young Thug and his alleged associates testified that she was allegedly “sexually harassed” by a Fulton County District Attorney Office investigator.

The witness was called to testify about an alleged May 2013 armed robbery at her apartment involving Young Thug and Walter Murphy, who took a plea deal in December 2022. The incident is not mentioned in the 95-page indictment.

The witness was reluctant to testify and was actually taken into custody Wednesday. A warrant was issued after she failed to appear in court.

Young Thug’s attorney, Keith Adams, questioned her Friday about why she did not want to testify.

“(The investigator) had harassed you, is that correct?” Adams asked.

“Yes,” she replied.

 

“In fact, you told us when you were back there (inside the holding cell at the courthouse) that you didn’t want to come out and see him because he had sexually harassed you, true?” Adams asked.

“Yes,” she answered.

The witness testified that the investigator told her wanted to met her alone at an Atlanta restaurant in February. She didn’t feel safe doing so, so she took her 20-year-old son with her.

She testified that the investigator told her not to talk to anybody else about the case and felt he was trying to date her.
