Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty has been sentenced to home confinement after failing to register as a sex offender in California.
On Wednesday, a federal judge sentenced the 44-year-old to one year of home detention, three years probation and a $55,000 fine. Petty took a plea deal last year and admitted that he failed to register as a sex offender after he moved to California with Minaj in July 2019.
Kenneth Petty was convicted in 1995 for first-degree attempted rape and served almost four years in New York state prison.
According to the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), anyone convicted of a sexual crime is “required to update their registration in each jurisdiction they reside, are employed or attend school.” Failure to do so is a federal crime
