Splash News Just one year after Nicki Minaj ‘s brother Jelani Maraj was convicted of raping his 11-year old stepdaughter, his defense team has aired suspicion of jury misconduct, which forced the judge to order an inquiry. According to Newsday , the Judge wrote in a statement, “There is a need for the Court to conduct a hearing to determine the nature of the material placed before the jury and whether that material created a substantial risk of prejudice to the defendant.” The defense alleges that one juror told other jurors that if Nicki Minaj did not show up to testify then Jelani was guilty. Some jurors also talked about the case against the judge’s instructions and noted how they couldn’t “wait for him to be found guilty.” Other jurors reportedly read blogs and watched The Wendy Williams show where the talk show host slammed Jelani for being guilty. Despite the inquiry, the judge still felt that evidence was “more than legally sufficient” to prove Jelani as guilty. The new hearing is scheduled for November 15.

Prosecution Rests Wednesday In Jelani Maraj Rape Trial The alleged victim in Nicki Minaj’s brother’s child rape trial may not have spoken out about the alleged abuse because in part she actually cared for her alleged abuser, an expert testified Wednesday. Dr. Ann Meltzer, a child psychologist who works with child abuse survivors, said that it’s common for abused children to display behavior akin to Stockholm Syndrome toward their abuser. “The vast majority of children do not come forward right away about what’s happening to them,” Dr. Meltzer said on the witness stand in Nassau County Supreme Court. “Sometimes the abuser is someone they like…and they don’t want to get someone in trouble, or send someone to jail.” The expert, who has not treated the alleged victim, said there were common elements involving child sex abuse: children are almost always targeted by someone they know and respect, the abuse often occurs more than once and the child may willingly remain in an environment where the abuser can target them. “The closer the relationship between the abuser and the child, the less likely they will come forward with it,” she said. “If it’s a parent or a stepparent, they want to see them in the best light and remember the good times. If they are threatened in some way and are around that person, they are reminded of the threat.” Splash News Maraj’s alleged victim testified earlier this week that her former-stepdad raped her up to four times a week over an eight-month period in 2015. Maraj said the rape allegations are part of the accuser’s family’s $25 million blackmail attempt on him and Nicki. If convicted, Maraj faces life in state prison. In cross-examination, Maraj’s lawyer David Schwartz asked Dr. Meltzer whether children make up stories about being sexually abused. “There are false allegations of abuse,” she said. “We come across that from younger children. But that comes from the parents, or children with psychiatric issues or older adolescents.” The expert was the prosecution’s last witness, and now the defense will begin making Maraj’s case.
Splash News Jelani Miraj’s Former Stepdaughter Testifies Yesterday, former step daughter of Jelani Maraj testified in court, detailing the alleged sexual abuse she endured while living with the brother of superstar rapper Nicki Minaj. She gets GRAPHIC in her testimony, according to a detailed report appearing on PageSix . The unnamed child said the abuse began in their Long Island home when she was just 11 years old. “He would call me his puppet and [say] I had no say in what he did to me,” the girl said, wearing glasses and with hair pulled back in a ponytail on the stand. “It was a Saturday morning,” she said. “I had went to him to go say ‘good morning.’ I had hugged him as usual. I went to go lie next to him as I usually do. When I did that, he told me to go close the door. He told me to take off my pants. Then he told me to come under the covers with him and he started caressing me.” Maraj then had sex with the preteen and ejaculated in her mouth, she said. He then allegedly began frequently raping the little girl after school. “We would have sex in his bedroom, in my bedroom, in the basement,” she said. Maraj tried to make her think the attacks were her fault, telling the young victim she was sending him signals, she told the court . “He had mentioned I was brushing myself on him and that I wanted it to happen,” she said. Maraj started sodomizing her over the summer, she said. “He used lubricant and told me to breathe properly and not to clench so it wouldn’t hurt so much,” she said. “It hurt. I told him to stop and tried to push him away.” What a sick (alleged) bastard!

Hi hater… Meek Mill Blasts Karen Civil And BallerAlert Meek Mill’s steaming mad at a few bloggers and he’s blaming it all on his ex. Earlier today Meek went HAM on BallerAlert and Karen Civil and accused them of being on Nicki Minaj’s payroll. The IG fingers came after BallerAlert posted a video promoting Meek’s upcoming club appearance at Miami’s Club Story that apparently Meek didn’t appreciate. “Y’all be hating with y’all corny a** captions…this a club and I’m not performing I’m just letting the 2300 people that came to club hear me.” He then alleged that BallerAlert AND Karen Civil were being paid by Nicki to post negative stories about him and his sister wants to fade them for it. He also questioned why they haven’t been covering Jelani Maraj’s child sex case. “My sister tryna catch up wit y’all cornball a** b***s…this my last time speaking on y’all miserable a** clowns,” wrote Meek.[…] “Karen I got the tape of ya corny a** saying Nicki paying y’all for this geek s***.” That’s not messy at all, Meek. Meek and Karen used to be cool. Karen previously dated Deen, one the members of Meek’s Dreamchasers. What do YOU think about Meek’s messy IG beef??? Why’s everything Nicki’s fault???? See a response from BallerAlert on the flip. Instagram
So…Nicki Minaj was put in an interesting position that she probably shouldn’t have got involved in, despite being the money maker in the family, who owns the houses that both her brother and mother live in, as they are mooches of her success…and feel entitled to not only live in her house, instead of making money to buy his own damn house, despite being 37…..but also entitled enough to do things that led to a raping a 12 year old charge… Now Jelani Maraj and the details of his rape charges may not be public, and maybe he’s innocent, but the fact that if he isn’t innocent and Nicki Minaj is standing by him, because he’s family is a little fucked up considering her job… I believe that if she is backing him and paying for his legal team with money she makes from 12 year olds… She should be blacklisted and treated like she herself is a 12 year old rapist, and in a lot of ways I am sure she is, as being an idol to them is psychologically rapey… The story is that she posted bail…for someone Charged with raping a 12 year old… Court papers reveal the superstar singer put up the $100,000 bond that sprang Jelani Maraj, 37, from custody in Nassau County on Friday after he was accused of first-degree rape and first-degree sexual conduct against the preteen. The bond is backed by a two homes in Baldwin that are owned by Minaj — one of which is used by her brother and the other by her mother, Carol. “She was prepared to do anything for her brother,” a source said of Minaj. Minaj will be responsible for the fees associated with securing the the bond, typically 6 percent to 10 percent of the bond amount, or $6,000 to $10,000. Had the bail been higher — and Nassau prosecutors had asked for $500,000 — Minaj was ready to offer a letter of credit from a California bank account worth in excess of $2 million, the source said. Again…she posted bail…for someone charged with raping a 12 year old… That means Nicki Minaj has put someone who has been charged with raping a 12 year old….on the street where he can rape more 12 year olds…instead of leaving him in prison where people who aren’t rich stay after they are charged with the rape 12 year olds… The legal system and Nicki Minaj are fucked up… The post Nicki Minaj Supports Rapist Brother’s Rape Charge of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
