For the unaware, Kenneth Petty was arrested back in 1994 for attempting to r*pe a 16-year-old girl. According to the law, he was required to register as an s*x offender in New York as well as California but he failed to do so, as he moved out of the state once he married Nicki, as per reports by Page six.
Reports also claim that, earlier, Petty was arrested by Beverly Hills police back in November 2019, after they discovered that he had not registered himself as an s*x offender in California. However, he was then released on a USD 20,000 bond and charged for failing to fulfil his part.
