Prosecutors in the rape case against DJ Hollyhood Bay Bay are threatening to revoke his bail out of concern for the victim's safety.

DJ Bay Bay (whose real name is Terrance Stewart) was arrested last month on charges of rape and intimidation of a witness. According to The Shreveport Times, Caddo Assistant District Attorney Hugo Holland has said overwhelming evidence against Stewart and concern for the safety of the victim compelled prosecutors to request that Stewart be kept in prison until the case is tried.

"We've had to hide the victim because of threats," Holland said in court Tuesday. "And he already has one charge of witness intimidation pending against him. If some unfortunate incident happens to the victim or members of her family, we will arrest Mr. Stewart again."

Stewart appeared before Caddo District Judge John Mosely yesterday (September 4) for reduction of his $155,000 bail. He did not react to the prosecutors' claims.Stewart's attorney Shanta' Wells has asked that the case be continued. A judge will determine whether Stewart's bail will be revoked at his bond reduction hearing, scheduled for September 18.

The case involves a 24-year-old mother of three, who on August 2 was discovered unconscious on the third floor of Kokopelli's - the nightclub where Stewart is employed. After being examined at a hospital it was determined she'd had sex.The victim says she doesn't know what occurred, only that she recalls drinking wine and water with Stewart before waking up ten hours later in the hospital. Police believe the woman was either drugged or intoxicated, possibly both.

Stewart and another DJ, 36-year-old Ron Johnson (known as DJ Ron) were arrested and booked into Caddo Correctional Center after police viewed surveillance video from Kokopelli's and conducted an investigation.

Stewart is currently out on bond. His defense is seeking to have the bail reduced because of the amount of collateral his family was required to put up for his release. Johnson remains at Caddo Correctional Center on $250,000 bond. He was on parole for drug charges at the time of his arrest. Stewart is the subject of rapper Hurricane Chris' hit song "A Bay Bay".
