6ix9ine's Alleged Assault Victim Reportedly Wants the Rapper's Case to Be Dropped

TMZ reports that the alleged victim, 16-year-old Santiago Albarran, voluntarily attended the rapper’s Thursday assault hearing in Houston. Though the teen did not make any formal statements during his appearance, he reportedly told 6ix9ine’s lawyer that he didn’t want the rapper to be prosecuted. 

According to attorney Carl Moore, Albarran said he also told prosecutors about his wishes; however, it appears that his support for 6ix9ine has had little to no impact on the case, as it is still moving forward.

Shortly after the hearing, Albarran caught up with the “Fefe” artist in a courthouse hallway and even posed for a photo together.

The arrest was a violation of the rapper's ongoing probation sentence, which stems from a 2015 case in which he pleaded guilty to use of a child in a sexual performance.
