Noel Christopher Fisher, a Grammy-winning music producer known as “Detail,” was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of raping and sexual assaulting half a dozen women.
Fisher [shown above] took home a Grammy Award in 2015, for producing Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love.” He’s also worked with Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, Tyga, Nicki Minaj, Wiz Khalifa and others.
The producer is charged with forcibly raping five women and sexually assaulting another woman dating back to 2010, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release.
He was taken into custody by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Wednesday evening, and is being held on $6.29 million bail, according to online inmate booking records.
