Los Angeles (CNN) -- CeeLo Green won't be charged with sexual assault, but the singer-songwriter will be prosecuted for allegedly giving ecstasy to a female victim, the Los Angeles district attorney's office said Monday.
Green, 39, 'allegedly slipped ecstasy to a 33-year-old female while the two were dining at a downtown Los Angeles restaurant sometime between July 13 and July 14, 2012,' according to a statement from the prosecutor. 'The two later went back to the woman's hotel.'
The district attorney's office cited insufficient evidence for the decision not to file a charge of rape of an intoxicated person.
Green, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, could be sentenced to up to four years in prison if found guilty of the one felony count of furnishing a controlled substance, the statement said.
He was scheduled to appear before a judge in a downtown Los Angeles court for a bail hearing on Monday afternoon. Prosecutors are asking his bond be set at $30,000.
