Prosecutors reportedly advised against home detention for Petty, as they felt that his and Minaj’s Los Angeles mansion wouldn’t count as a “punishment.”
Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Has Been Sentenced To One Year Of House Arrest After Failing To Register As A Sex Offender
Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, has been sentenced to three years of probation and a year of home detention after he failed to register as a sex offender when he moved to California with the rapper.
Jamie Mccarthy / Getty Images for Marc JacobsIn November 2019, Petty was pulled over by the Beverly Hills Police Department, and it was discovered that while he is a registered sex offender in New York, he had not registered in his new state — which he is legally required to do.

Mega / GC ImagesPetty is considered a level two offender in the state of New York, which means that he is thought to be at “moderate risk of repeat offense.”

In court records obtained by the Blast, Petty was accused of pressing an object to the back of his 16-year-old victim as she walked to school and told her to “keep walking” until they got to his home. He then allegedly began to rape her at knifepoint before the victim struck him with a bottle and escaped.

The alleged incident took place in September 1994, and Petty’s friends are reported to have harassed the victim’s family at the time, forcing her to relocate to Florida.

Petty began dating Minaj in 2018, and they got married the following year. They welcomed a son together in September 2020.

In August 2021, Petty’s alleged rape victim, Jennifer Hough, filed a lawsuit against both him and Minaj as she claimed that they were trying to coerce her into recanting her allegation.

Hough alleged that shortly after Petty’s 2019 arrest, Minaj called her and offered to fly her over to Los Angeles or Minaj’s publicist to Hough. When Hough declined, she and her family allegedly “suffered an onslaught of harassing calls and unsolicited visits.”

Hough accused the couple of “witness intimidation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment” in the lawsuit.

According to the New York Times, Hough claims that she was offered varying degrees of payment — from $20,000 to $500,000 — if she signed a statement that renounced her original allegations against Petty.

In January of this year, Minaj was voluntarily dismissed from the lawsuit, but Hough pursued the charges against Petty.

In May, it was reported that Hough is no longer seeking a “default judgment” against Petty, but a resolution between the pair has seemingly still not been reached.
