He was first taken into custody in 2015 for the use of a child in a s**ual performance. According to the mother of the victim’s complaint that was obtained by Billboard, it alleged that her 13-year-old daughter was filmed “having s**ual contact with two adult males.” Tekashi 6ix9ine pleaded guilty to three felony counts in which he allegedly “stood behind the child making a thrusting motion with his pelvis and smacking her on her b***ocks.”
In 2018, he and his associates were charged with federal racketeering and firearms charges. In February 2019, Tekashi 6ix9ine finally pleaded guilty to nine charges in the case, including charges of racketeering conspiracy, multiple firearms offenses, narcotics trafficking, and more. At the time, he faced at least 47 years in prison. He agreed to work with the federal officers for a reduced sentence, and he was sentenced to two years. However, he served the last few months of his sentence at his home due to being a “model prisoner.”
