Pop Singer Nicki Minaj’s Brother Says He Never Touched 12-Year-Old Victim Despite DNA Evidence

Via Hip Hop Domain:

Jelani Maraj maintains his innocence, and his legal team wishes to expose the sexual history of the 12-year-old girl he’s accused of raping. Last year, it was reported that his DNA matched with semen found on the girl’s pants.

The legal team of Jelani Maraj, the 37-year-old brother of Nicki Minaj who’s currently facing charges for allegedly raping and sodomizing a 12-year-old girl on multiple occasions, has filed a motion to ask the judge to give them access to evidence that might shed light upon the minor complainant’s sexual history.

“Our firm has a good faith basis to believe that the complainant in this case has had intimate physical contact with a man who is not the defendant in this case and who is older than 17 years of age and who may have caused there to be physical evidence of repeated vaginal and anal penetration of the complainant,” Maraj’s lawyers, Benjamin Brafman and Andrea Zellan wrote, according to documents obtained by Bossip.

In addition to seeming evidence of vaginal and anal penetration, the court revealed there to be a match between Maraj’s DNA and semen found on the victim’s pants during a hearing in July. After revealing the evidence, the court put forth a plea deal, offering Maraj a sentence of 15 years to life in prison, which he declined.

Maraj faces charges of first-degree rape and first-degree course of sexual encounter against a child. His lawyers have also asked the judge to toss out the top charge (first-degree rape), which carries with it a possible life sentence. They feel there is unconstitutional overlap between the two charges, reports Bossip.

Additionally, the lawyers have filed a motion to suppress evidence used against Maraj that was allegedly obtained with a “bad” warrant, enacted by reasonable cause instead of probable cause.

Nicki reportedly posted $100,000 in bail, putting up two of her properties, for her brother when he was arrested on a first-degree rape charge in December 2015. The accuser told police that Maraj had repeatedly raped and sodomized her in the period between April 1 and November 30, 2015. The most recent alleged assault took place one day before Maraj’s arrest, according to the victim.

Maraj plead not guilty to the charges against him when he was indicted in April 2016.

“We believe the truth will come out,” David Schwartz, Maraj’s lawyer, told Bossip yesterdaqy. “The complaining witness in the case and others have a real motive in this case to lie, this never occurred and Jelani is completely innocent.”

The case is headed to trial later this month.

Remy Ma references the case on “shETHER,” her new Nicki Minaj diss track, with the following lines:

And I got a few words for the moms of the young Barbz
Guess who supports a child molester? Nicki Minaj
You paid for your brother’s wedding? That’s hella foul
How you spendin’ money to support a pedophile?
He a walkin’ dead man, sendin’ threats to him
I guess that’s why they call you Barbie, you was next to Ken
Talkin’ about your money long and your foreign sick
Why you ain’t help your bro hide his cum from forensics?
You probably somewhere overseas, foreign sick
Thought you could fuck with me, by far Rem sick
Meek, Drake, Safaree, I see men in your pants
We call that Jelani, get it? Semen in your pants

Pop Singer Nicki Minaj’s Brother Is A Rapist Pedophile; Semen Found On 12 Year Old Girl’s Pants

  

  
According to Bossip, pop singer Nicki Minaj’s older brother is the worst kind of human being, a Chester molester creep. 

  
Here’s the latest gossip from Bossip:

Things aren’t looking good for Nicki Minaj’s brother in his child rape case.

Prosecutors revealed that Jelani Maraj’s DNA matches semen found on his 12-year-old accuser’s clothes, and have offered him a deal of 15 years to life, BOSSIP has learned.
The Nassau County District Attorney’s Office said earlier this week that Maraj’s DNA profile was a more than billion to one match of the semen on his alleged victim’s pants.

“…A DNA profile, a partial profile matching the defendant or consistent with the defendant, your honor, to the point in the hundreds of billionths of chance of it being any other individual, was discovered in the…pants of the complainant in this case, and also tested positive indicating the presence of semen,” Anthony Pirri, the assistant district attorney told the judge at a hearing July 26 in Nassau County Supreme Court’s sex crimes division.

The 12-year-old alleged victim told police that Maraj repeatedly raped and sodomized her in between April 1 and Nov. 30, 2015. Cops arrested him the day after the last alleged rape.

A grand jury indicted Maraj on felony child rape charges, including predatory sexual assault against a child and first degree sexual conduct against a child. If convicted, Maraj faces up to life in prison on the top charge.

BOSSIP can reveal that Pirri has offered Maraj a deal of 15 years to life for an “A-II” felony of “predatory sexual assault of a child.” The case is still supposed to head to trial in November, but in the meantime, both sides are discussing the possible deal.

Pirri said before Maraj was indicted, the District Attorney’s office offered him seven years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea to “course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree,” a “B” felony. But the newlywed, who works for one of Nicki Minaj’s companies, rejected the offer.

During the hearing, Maraj spoke only to confirm his name, and that he understood he had to appear at the next hearing in August.

He has pleaded not guilty and is out on bail.

Good riddance Mr Minaj or whatever your name is, yet another repulsive pedophile exposed, hopefully soon to be off the streets. 

It’s pretty disgusting that he is still out on bail (that Nicki Minaj paid) after this sickening discovery. Pedophile rapists should be taken off the streets immediately. 

I’m positive the guys in prison won’t mind showing him what it’s like to be raped and sodomized by a grown man. They’ll be awaiting his arrival.

Pop Star Nicki Minaj’s Older Brother Arrested For Molesting 12 Year Old

  

The recently married brother of rapper Nicki Minaj has been charged with raping a child on Long Island, the Daily News has learned.

Jelani Maraj, 37, was arraigned Thursday on a first-degree rape charge and freed from a Nassau County jail on $100,000 bail, sources said.

Nassau County prosecutors say Maraj engaged in intercourse with a child under the age of 13 at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 30.

Newsday reported that Maraj’s victim was a 12-year-old girl.

His wife, Jaqueline Maraj ignored questions as she left her home with a young boy and hopped in a maroon minivan.

Maraj is due back in court on Dec. 9.

In a creepy twist, among the “likes” listed on a Twitter page belonging to a Jelani Maraj is a news story about William James Vahey, a child predator who killed himself in March 2014.

SMH! How sick can you get?!– A 12 year old? And he just got married?! –“liking creepy child molester pics” on social media ?! Hmmmmm.
