old girl he allegedly raped and is currently facing 15 years
in prison after being offered a plea deal in his child rape
case.
Prosecutors offered Maraj 15 years in prison if he pleads
guilty to “predatory sexual assault of a child” which is a
class A-II felony. Nicki's brother, was initially offered a
plea deal for seven years in prison before being indicted
by a grand jury in exchange for pleading guilty to “course
of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree,” but he
rejected the offer.
Remember, Maraj was arrested last December after a 12-
year-old girl accused him that he raped and sodomized
her for eight months.
The Assistant District Attorney Anthony Pirri, told the judge
at a hearing July 26 in Nassau County Supreme Court’s sex
crimes division, that the semen found in the victim’s pants
was consistent to Maraj’s DNA. He said:
"A DNA profile, a partial profile matching the defendant or
consistent with the defendant, your honor, to the point in
the hundreds of billionths of chance of it being any other
individual, was discovered in the…pants of the complainant
in this case, and also tested positive indicating the presence
of semen,”.
He is due back in court in August, but if he rejects the
current deal, the child rape case will start in November.
