Nicki Minaj’s brother has four days to consider his plea in his child sex abuse case. Jelani Maraj, who was charged in December with raping a 12-year-old girl multiple times, faces 15 years to life in prison, Miriam Sholder of the Nassau County District Attorney’s office told the Daily News.
The case adjourned in a Long Island court on Thursday and is scheduled to resume on Monday.
The alleged victim was “someone Maraj had access to,” a source close to the case previously told the Daily News.
The 37-year-old was arraigned Dec. 3 on a first-degree rape charge and freed on $100,000 bail.
Maraj’s younger sister, Nicki, hasn’t commented publicly on the case. Last August, Minaj paid $30,000 for his wedding.
“I love my brother so much man. Can’t believe I cried during his wedding and his first dance like a punk,” She wrote.
