Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Sentenced To Probation & Home Detention

Nicki Minaj‘s husband Kenneth Petty, was sentenced Wednesday in Los Angeles to probation and home detention for failing to register as a sex offender in California, after relocating from NYC.

According to NBC, he will face 3 years of probation and a year of home detention sentence.

He pleaded guilty last year to the federal charge. He was also ordered to pay a $55,000 fine as part of his sentence of three years’ probation and a year in home detention, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The law dictates he must register whenever he moves following an attempted rape conviction of Jennifer Hough.

As it was previously reported, Petty served four years in jail in 1995 after pleading guilty to the attempted rape of Hough, who was then 16 years old.

Petty told the court he didn’t know the specific requirements to register upon leaving NY state. However, prosecutors were not buying it as they believe he was well aware of the rules after getting annual warnings for 2 decades.

Nicki Minaj has repeatedly insisted that Petty had been wrongfully convicted and claimed that the victim, Jennifer Hough, now 43, had planned to recant her statements in a letter to a judge.
