With Hill gaining over 713,000 followers on Instagram, the singer has spent the last few years on the road. Entertaining thousands of fans, the singer recently learned that a convicted rapist attended one of her shows thanks to 24 Hours In Police Custody.

During a recent episode, titled Nightclub Predator, investigators recalled following serial rapist Craig France. Eventually finding their way to the suspect’s house, officers were horrified to find thousands of videos and disturbing images. The investigation first kicked off after an individual explained to the authorities that France forced himself on her. Unknown at the time, the police would have to contact three other victims after what they discovered at his house.
Back in March, France pleaded guilty to the crimes brought against him and received a sentence of almost 11 years. With the story airing on 24 Hours In Police Custody, Hill watched as footage of her concert showed France singing along to her song “Remember.”
