BATON ROUGE, La.(AP) - Top-selling rapper Mystikal is accused of raping a woman with two other men at his home and attempting to extort the woman.

Mystikal, whose real name is Michael Tyler, surrendered to authorities early Thursday and was booked on an aggravated rape charge, police said. He was released on $250,000 bond.

Leland Ellis, 36, and Vercy Carter, 34, of Baton Rouge, turned themselves in and were booked later that morning, police said. Bond had not been set Thursday evening for either Ellis or Carter.

All three also charged with extortion. Authorities say they threatened to tell police that the woman had received checks form rapper's account without his permission. The extortion charge accuses Tyler of demanding sex in exchange for his agreement not to turn the woman over the police.

If convicted of the aggravated rape charge, Tyler would face a mandatory life sentence. The penalty for extortion carries a prison term of one to 15 years.

Tyler's attorneys did not return calls seeking comment, nor did his record company, Jive.

His hits include "Danger (Been so Long)" and the Grammy-nominated "Shake Ya…" The gruff-sounding rapper's latest disc, "Tarantula" has gone gold.

Tyler is accused of attacking the 40-year-old woman after she showed up at his house around 8 pm. On July 3. He allegedly raped the woman in front of the two other men, then each of the others raped her.

"During the attacks, the victim was repeatedly threatened with prosecution of the checks and great bodily harm.

The victim was allowed to leave the residence after the attacks. She was treated and released at a local hospital," a police statement said.
