The charge stems from an investigation into allegations by a 33-year-old woman that Green slipped her ecstasy at a restaurant in July 2012 and then went to her hotel room for sex.
Prosecutors declined to file a sexual assault charge against the “F*** You” singer, citing insufficient evidence.
If convicted, Green could spend up to four years in prison.
The 39-year-old Grammy winner’s bail was set at $30,000.
