Petty, who married the Grammy-winning rapper in 2019, was convicted of attempted first-degree attempted rape in 1995.
Hough, who was 16 at the time of the assault, stated that she was being harassed and threatened by Petty and Minaj. Hough indicated that Minaj made attempts to bribe her to recant her story.
