Afrika Bambaataa, the hip-hop pioneer, lost a civil case regarding child sexual abuse and trafficking after not attending court. The allegations stem from a plaintiff who claims Bambaataa abused him from age 12. Despite numerous past allegations against Bambaataa, including one from Ronald Savage that Savage later recanted, Bambaataa has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Judge Alexander M Tisch ruled in favor of the plaintiff by default. Concerns remain regarding Bambaataa's behavior, further exemplified by statements from a claimed former bodyguard about Bambaataa’s involvement with underage boys during tours.
Bambaataa has faced numerous allegations of molesting boys, with one plaintiff claiming sexual abuse and trafficking starting when he was 12 and Bambaataa was 34.

A former bodyguard described witnessing questionable behavior involving Bambaataa traveling with young boys, highlighting the serious nature of the accusations.
