Jelani Maraj was convicted in 2017
PEOPLE learns post-trial motions submitted by Maraj’s attorneys delayed his sentencing.
Prosecutors presented evidence at trial showing Maraj started abusing the victim when she was 11, and raped her repeatedly between April and November 2015 while her mother was working. The girl testified that Maraj called her “his puppet” and said she had “no say” in the things that were being done to her. She also testified that if she refused his advances, he would physically attack her.
