The verdict for Jelani Maraj came in Thursday in Long Island, where he was found guilty of predatory sexual assault against a child and endangering the welfare of a child.
He faces 25 years to life in prison. He’ll be sentenced on December 14. Nassau County D.A. Madeline Singas tells TMZ … “We hope that today’s verdict will help the family in the healing process.”
Neither Maraj nor his rapper sister testified, despite earlier reports that she would.
