The case is one step closer to trial...
According to Bossip the case was sent to the grand jury on March 3 to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial.
At this time the Nassau County District Attorney is working with a panel to determine whether or not Jelani should be indicted.
Jelani Maraj is charged with felony first degree sexual conduct against a child and felony first-degree rape.
Jelani is facing up 50 years in prison if convicted.
