Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Perry has been sentenced to one year of home confinement for failing to register as a sex offender, a representative of the federal prosecutor’s office said.
Kenneth Petty was also sentenced to three years of probation and fined five thousand dollars according to the representative for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
Petty pleaded guilty in September to one count of failure to register as a sex offender, as he was required to register as a sex offender after being convicted of first-degree attempted rape in New York in 1995, when he was sixteen.
Just so you know, Kenneth Petty moved to California in July 2019 before tying the knot with Nicki Minaj in October later that year, and during a traffic stop in Beverly Hills, authorities learnt that he had not registered as a sex offender as required by the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), officials said. He was later indicted in March 2020.
Petty is a registered Level 2 sex offender on New York State’s Sex Offender Registry and in August 2021, Petty accepted a plea deal for failing to register.
Prosecutors had argued for prison time, writing in a June sentencing position that he should be sentenced to fifteen months, or a little over a year, in prison.
Prosecutors argued that he knowingly failed to register after moving to California.
They also wrote that home confinement would not be appropriate, citing a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Calabasas with a pool.
Petty served nearly four years in prison after the New York attempted rape conviction.
