A Los Angeles based tattoo artist has been arrested and charged with sexual assault, said the Los Angeles police on Monday.

Police said 28-year-old Charles Wayne Wilkerson IV was taken into custody on Oct. 29 and is currently being held on $300,000 bail. Police said they are looking for additional possible victims.

Detectives began investigating two separate sexual assault allegations against Wilkerson IV, reported on Dec. 18, 2023, and Feb. 16, 2024, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Detectives have released a photo of the suspect in hopes of encouraging other possible victims to come forward.

LAPD Southwest Division Sexual Assault Detective Robert Smey alleged that Wilkerson would prey upon young women who would hire him for tattoo artistry.

"Once he gained their trust, the assault occurred. Now that these brave young women have told their story. Hopefully, more will be encouraged to step forward and seek justice,'' Smey said.

"Wilkerson is known on Instagram as Frankokhalifa and also uses the name Franko. In addition, Wilkerson creates rap music under the name Franko Khalifa," police said in a statement.

According to court records, he was charged last week with two counts of rape by use of drugs and single counts of forcible oral copulation and oral copulation of an intoxicated victim. He pleaded not guilty and returns to court on Dec. 5.

Anyone with information about the alleged assaults or additional victims is urged to contact LAPD Southwest Division Sexual Assault detectives at 323-290-2976.
