Rapper Young Thug changed his plea to guilty today (Oct. 31) as part of what has become the longest criminal trial in Georgia history and, if approved by a judge, could lead to his release from jail, according to reports.
The 33-year-old artist, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, was indicted in 2022 under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute for allegedly leading the street gang YSL (Young Slime Life).
The gang’s members have been accused of a variety of crimes, including murder, drug dealing and robbery.
Three co-defendants accepted plea deals earlier this week on racketeering conspiracy charges and were sentenced to probation and time served.
One of the men, Rodalius Ryan, will remain in jail after a 2019 life sentence for murder.
