It comes months after he was convicted of three counts of forcible rape, two counts of statutory rape, and two counts of rape by intoxication, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The offenses occurred between 2013 and 2018, reports said.

His alleged victims claimed that Walker had contacted them via social media offering to help them, according to prosecutors.

Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Wallace told City News Service that she believes Walker is "truly a predator".

Walker allegedly lured his victims by claiming that a music video or photo shoot would take place.

Investigators said Walker would then assault his victims.

Yasmin Fardghassemi told the jury in March: "When they said 'Stop', he didn't care."

During the trial, Walker's defense lawyer Andrew Flier claimed that the film star was innocent and had experienced a "living nightmare".

Flier added: "The pattern of Mr Walker is to make false promises and they bought it.

"Each one of these women voluntarily made their own decisions."

Walker starred in the 2017 movie KINGS, which also featured Halle Berry and Daniel Craig.

He also appeared in the 2018 movie Superfly - a remake of the 1972 crime film.
