US rapper tried in Austria sex abuse

US rapper Freddie Gibbs is facing charges of sexual abuse in Austria.

An Austrian court has begun trying US rapper Freddie Gibbs on charges of sexual abuse.

He was indicted for allegedly exploiting the dazed state of a 17-year old girl whose drinks were possibly spiked to sexually abuse her after a nightclub appearance by Gibbs last year.

Gibbs, whose real name is Fredrick Tipton, denies the accusations.

Absent from the court in Vienna on Friday was a bodyguard sought for alleged sexual abuse of a 16-year old girl who had accompanied the 17-year old to Gibbs' hotel.

He is believed to be somewhere in the United States.
