Jelani Maraj – the older brother of rapper Nicki Minaj – has been found guilty of predatory sex assault and endangering the welfare of a minor.
News 12 has reported, prosecutors said Maraj, of Baldwin, repeatedly raped an 11-year-old girl in his home in 2015.
The 38-year-old's attorney claims the allegations were concocted by the victim's mother as part of a scheme to get his sister to pay $25 million in hush money.
He faces up to life in prison.
