YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMore from Inside Edition
As the anticipation builds for the upcoming The Birth of a Nation, the writer, director and star of the film is coming under fire as a past rape case has re-emerged. All the buzz about the movie, which is about Nat Turner's famous slave revolt, is now being dampened by the explosive story that when Parker was in college at Penn State he was accused but later acquitted of raping a fellow student in 1999. Tragically, the victim took her own life in 2012 at age 30. #InsideEdition
