Never Side With A Rapist, Even If They’re Family

The first time Jelani Miraj assaulted his stepdaughter, she was only 11-years old. She said that he had repeatedly raped her when her mother wasn’t home. Her younger brother caught Miraj in the act once, but the girl told him not to tell anyone. That all changed when he testified in court, along with the victim. DNA evidence found on the girl’s pajamas supported the claims, and on January 27, 2020, justice was served.
