Rapper Nicki Minaj’s brother Jelani Maraj will be sentenced 15-25 years of life in prison after the judges gave their verdict of the rape case filed against Maraj alleging him of repeatedly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter at his home in Long Island.
As per the verdicts, the prison sentence commences from December 14 and the stepfather of the victim child will have to remain in prison for 25 years as claimed in the rape charges. Jelani Maraj, 38, was undergoing a legal trial since 2015 and was finally found guilty of raping the then 11-year-old girl who has reached 14 now.
While we briefly collect the testimony of the rape case, we are trying to focus more on Jelani Maraj’s relationship with his newly married wife, his kids, siblings, and parents along with his net worth.
The Rape Case Trial and the Testimony: Witness Says, “I Saw His Underwear Close To His Knees”
Nicky Minaj’s brother Jelani Maraj was first arrested in the rape case in December 2015. He was accused of three serious crimes – “of a predatory sexual assault against a child, sexual conduct against a child, and felony sexual conduct against a child under 13 years old endangering the welfare of a child”, writes The Sun.
During the trial last month, the victim’s younger brother boldly spoke for the testimony. The victimizer beat the boy 10 times after the boy affirmed he had witnessed the rape. The Sun reports the victim’s brother’s testimony in the court:
“What happened was I was looking for [her]”, the boy said, referring to his then-11-year-old sister, who has accused Maraj of repeatedly raping her.
“My pencil broke and I didn’t have any others.”
The boy, who was 8 at the time, said his sister’s pants were “around her ankles.”
“I saw his underwear close to his knees”, he testified about Maraj.
