According to TMZ, Jelani Maraj was sentenced in a New York court today by Judge Robert McDonald, on Monday January 25, for predatory sexual assault against a child that lasted more than three weeks and endangering the welfare of a child.
Though Nicki Minaj’s brother repeatedly denied the allegations, claiming the story was concocted to extort his famous younger sister, his stepdaughter took the stand in a 2017 trial to narrate how he raped her in their Baldwin home while he was married to her mother.
He was sentenced to 25 years in prison, two years after a jury handed down the guilty verdict for the s#xual abuse which began in 2015
The rapper, whose real name is Onika Maraj-Petty, didn’t testify during the trial despite claims made by her brother’s defence team that she would but visited her brother while he was locked up.
“Maraj was actually found guilty in November 2017. We will be appealing this excessive sentence. There was clear juror misconduct amongst other issues,” Jelani Maraj’s attorney David M. Schwartz said.
In October 2019, a Nassau County judge denied Maraj and Schwartz’s bid to have the verdict overturned.

DeleteA little girl will whatever her mother tells her to do, and say whatever her mother tells her to say. No need for insults even if you disagree.
Very well deserved jail term.... The guy is a pervert.
ReplyDeleteHe has been going scot-free and this time, justice caught up with him.
They will deal with him in prison.
Do you know him personally???
DeleteAnon 17.16 even his sister Nicki Mainaj married a convicted rapist. Na family business rss
DeleteJustice served. I am sorry for what the kid went through. Good he’s going away for a long time. Not all 25 years with credit for good time but it’s still okay. One down, more roaming the streets and homes. Ladies, if you are a single mom with female kids, make sure the boyfriend, is kept far away from your daughters.
ReplyDeleteDon't limit it to female kids. Boys are molested too
DeleteA country with a system that actually works... Good riddance to bad rubbish.. Let him enjoy his stay there.. 😏😏

ReplyDeleteGood, it's what he deserves.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves more. Stupid Perv
Deletethis guy is sick in his head.
ReplyDeleteThat is a country where the system works. If it were to be in Nigeria, the justice will be overturned bcus of the celebrity status of Nicki Minaj.
ReplyDeleteGood for him, he deserves it
ReplyDeleteServes him right
ReplyDeleteWorst than animal. Satan incarnate.
ReplyDeleteI am not claiming his innocence but I hope y'all know that black men are easily framed for rape all the time . Even Kobe Bryant was accused of rape and actually went to trial before it was dismissed. So many black men rotting in jail for what they know nothing about..If he is guilty of the crime then may he face his punishment.
ReplyDelete.....and when they come out of the framed accusation they go marry and procreate with their white accusers leaving generational wealth outside the black community they relied on for strength in their growing years . Fools
DeleteServes him right.. No peace for the wicked...
