Kenneth Petty Los Angeles Sex Offender Registration Case Dismissed—Still Faces Federal Charges

Roommates, earlier this week we reported on Kenneth Petty being arrested and released in Los Angeles. He was arrested due to allegedly not registering as a sex offender in California. 

According to The Blast, Kenneth Petty has been able to get one of his sex cases dismissed, however, he still faces similar federal charges. There was reportedly a hearing in L.A. court Friday where prosecutors apparently told a judge that they were dropping the case against him.

Although that may seem like good news for Kenny, a rep for the D.A.’s office spilled tea to The Blast stating that “The case was dismissed today because he is facing a similar charge in federal court.”

If convicted, Kenneth Petty faces up to 10 years in the slammer. We’ll keep you posted on this story Roommates.

Read below to catch up on the original tea!

#KennethPetty, #‪NickiMinaj‬’s husband, was reportedly arrested for failing to allegedly register as a sex offender in California. _________________________________ According to @TMZ: “Kenneth Petty was in federal custody Wednesday — we’re told he turned himself into the Marshals. According to court docs, he’ll face a judge later today. Petty moved to California in July 2019, but according to law enforcement he got pulled over in Beverly Hills in November and that’s when his legal troubles started.” _________________________________ TMZ also reports: This arrest allegedly stems from a traffic stop that happened on November 15, 2019. At that time, Beverly Hills PD realized that he wasn’t registered as a sex offender in California, which is required of him, and he was therefore arrested. He was soon after released on $20K bond. However, the L.A. County D.A. charged him for failing to register as a sex offender. _________________________________ Unfortunately, he didn’t follow—read more at theshaderoom.com
