Jelani Maraj, the rapper Nicki Minaj’s older brother, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for life, People confirmed.

Two years after his conviction for child rape, 40 years Jelani Maraj was back in a Long Island courtroom on Monday, where he was sentenced by State Supreme Court Justice Robert McDonald, a Nassau Country District Attorney’s Office Source tells People.

His stepdaughter, who was 11 years old at the time of the act, told the courts in 2017 that Maraj raped her “repeatedly between April and November of 2015,” Newsday reported at the time.

Maraj was first charged with raping a minor in 2015 and was convicted of the crime two years later.

The rapper’s brother will serve a minimum of 25 years for crimes he committed against a child younger than 13, the publication reports.

The victim testified that Maraj sexually assaulted her at their home while her mother was at work.

During his trial, the defense argued that the allegations were fabricated in an attempt to extract $25 million from Maraj’s famous sister.

After a month-long trial, Maraj was found guilty of predatory sexual assault on a child and endangering the welfare of a child.
