Back in March, Nicki Minaj’s older brother’s child rape case was sent to a grand jury. If you are unfamiliar with the situation, Jelani Maraj was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl over the course of several months in 2015, including after his summer wedding. After deliberating for just under a month, the jury decided there was enough evidence, and have decided to indict Maraj on a top charge of felony predatory sexual assault against a child, as well as felony sexual conduct against a child under age 13, sexual conduct against a child and endangering the welfare of a child.

Maraj was arraigned in New York earlier today. He pled not guilty, and is free on $100,000 cash or bond, according to officials from the office of court administration. The 37-year-old is facing a hefty amount of time, with 15 years for the top charge alone. We will keep you updated as we know more.

What a sad situation all around. Prayers out to that little girl’s family, as well as Nicki and her family.
