Nicki Minaj's husband Kenneth Petty is suing the state of New York and its Criminal Justice Services to have his name removed frm the sex offender registry, claimIng he never was offered an opportunity to change it.
According to legal docs,which was obtained by TMZ, Petty never received notice of a hearing in October 2004 while he was incarcerated for attempted rape. The hearing would have allowed him to contest his level two sex offender status.
He said that notice was sent to an address where he didn't live because he was in prison at the time. He also revealed that the “Kenny Petty” signature on the paperwork was forged and that the person who signed it said he would not be attending the hearing. As a result, Petty said that he never got his constitutional right to due process to challenge the risk level assigned to him.
As a result, Petty claims he suffered financial loss and humiliation, citing his arrest last year for failing to register as a sex offender in California. He wants his name removed from New York sex offender list.
