Nicki Minaj's Husband Asks Judge To Allow Internet Use As A Sex Offender

Nicki Minaj's husband will now be able to surf the Internet.

According to Bossip, a judge has agreed to allow Kenneth Petty to have access to the web and his smartphone while out on $100,000 bail.

The legal win comes after TMZ reported that Kenneth submitted legal docs earlier this week, begging a California judge to allow him to use the World Wide Web after he was barred from doing so following his recent arrest.

As fans know, Kenneth was arrested nearly two weeks ago for failing to register as a sex offender. TMZ reported that his arrest stemmed from a 2019 incident when he was pulled over in Beverly Hills. The traffic stopped occurred on November 15, four months after his move to Los Angeles. During the stop, officers determined that Kenneth was a registered sex offender in New York state, but had not registered in California, as required by the law.

The feds arrested him earlier this month for the same crime. While Kenneth's L.A. County charge has since been dropped, he is set to return to court next month for the federal case and he has to wear an ankle monitor until then, TMZ reports. He has since entered into the California Megan's Law database, which tracks sex offenders in the state.

Kenneth's sex offender status stems from April 1995 when he was convicted of first-degree attempted rape. He reportedly used a sharp object when he tried to force his female victim to have sexual intercourse. Kenneth was 16 at the time and so was the victim. He served nearly four years in prison for the crime.
