Nicki Minaj’s Husband, Kenneth Petty, Arrested Over Sex Offender Registry 41-year-old Petty surrendered to<br />U.S. Marshals in Los Angeles, California, on<br />March 4 after being indicted by the state. His indictment was due to his<br />continued failure to register as<br />a sex offender in California. Because of his 1995 conviction<br />of first-degree rape, Petty is<br />required to update his registration<br />wherever he resides. Although he is listed as a level 2 offender in New York State,<br />Petty moved to Southern California in the summer of 2019<br />and “knowingly failed to register as a sex offender.” According to TMZ, Petty was initially arrested<br />for failing to register in November 2019 and<br />was released on a $20,000 bond at the time. Since then, Petty still had not registered and must<br />now post another bond of $100,000 to be released. He will have to wear an ankle monitor, follow<br />a curfew, surrender his passport and remain in<br />Southern California until his hearing on March 23. He will also be unable<br />to use drugs of any type,<br />including marijuana from<br />legal dispensaries.
