A Los Angeles social media figure who calls himself “Clintnlord” has been sentenced to eight years in state prison after entering a no-contest plea in a case accusing him of raping women inside an evacuated Pacific Palisades mansion. Prosecutors and court filings say he took advantage of homes left empty after January’s destructive wildfires to isolate his victims.
According to the New York Post, court documents filed this week show that 32-year-old Clinton Adams, who performs online as Clintnlord, entered a no-contest plea and will serve an eight-year state term under a plea agreement. The filing marks the first public resolution in a case that began with his arrest last November.
Charges the county filed
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Adams with three counts of forcible rape and one count of assault with intent to commit rape, stating that the case involves multiple victims. In its December release, the DA noted that if the case had gone to trial, Adams could have faced up to 90 years to life in state prison.
How detectives say he worked
LAPD detectives told the Los Angeles Times that Adams allegedly used a Pacific Palisades house left vacant after the January wildfires, presenting the property as his own to lure women inside. Court filings cited by the Times list alleged assaults on June 29 and on August 7 and 8, 2025, and say Adams was arrested on November 19 after two victims came forward.
Victims' accounts in court records
Testimony described in the New York Post includes one woman who said, “I just felt his hand on my wrists, I was telling him to stop,” and another who testified she was attacked after being invited over to “watch some movies.” The Post also reports that one of the victims ran to UCLA Medical Center for treatment after the assault.
The online persona and local reach
Adams built an online presence as a rapper and influencer under the name Clintnlord, amassing hundreds of thousands of followers on social media platforms, the Los Angeles Times reported. Prosecutors say that persona helped him move through Westside social circles and connect with the women who later identified him.
Legal developments and next steps
By pleading no contest, Adams avoided a trial and the longer potential sentence that prosecutors had outlined in their charging documents, according to the DA’s filing. The plea resolves the current criminal case, but the DA’s Sex Crimes Division and LAPD say the investigation remains active and that they are still looking for other possible victims.
Investigators have asked anyone with information about additional alleged victims to contact LAPD’s Operation-West Bureau Special Assault Section, CBS Los Angeles reported, and the DA’s office has likewise invited tips as the probe continues.
