Per their article, the 28-year-old Northampton rapper appeared virtually before Oxfordshire magistrates court on Tuesday (May 16) for a preliminary hearing, speaking only to confirm his name, date of birth, and address. He was reportedly charged with oral and vaginal penetration of a woman without her consent in 2021 in Oxford.
According to The Guardian, Frampton was granted bail and will appear in Oxford crown court next month. The FADER has reached out to a representative of Frampton for further comment.
