Kenneth Petty, The Husband of Nicki Minaj, Has Been Sentenced to Home Detention!
After moving to California without first registering with the state, Petty became embroiled in a legal battle, which Nicki Minaj‘s husband is now a party.
According to reports, the rapper’s husband was sentenced to time in prison after pleading guilty to a case of attempted rape many years ago.
Jennifer Hough, who was only 16 years old at the time, went to the police in 1995 to report that Petty had sexually abused her.
In spite of the fact that he rejected the charges, he was found guilty and sentenced to four and a half years in prison after which he was required to register as a sexual offender.
We had reported earlier that Petty had entered a guilty plea to the most current allegations that had been brought against him.
A sentencing hearing that took place today (July 6) put an end to all of the speculations over the desired severity of the punishment for the offense that was committed.
In addition to his three years of probation, Petty will serve his sentence of one year of in-home detention instead of going to prison for his crime. In addition, the United States Attorney’s Office claimed that Petty is required to pay a fine of $55,000.
Although it is not anticipated that the notoriously secretive couple will comment on this matter in any way, neither Minaj nor Petty has issued a statement in response to the news of his imprisonment.
