Jury Finds Mendeecees Harris Not Guilty Of Child Abuse In Teen-S-x Trial

. . , , , , , , ,

A Hackensack jury has found Love & Hip Hop New York cast member Mendeecees Harris not guilty of s-xually assaulting a teenaged girl four years ago in Lodi, New Jersey. Today’s verdict was met with cheers by Harris’ supporters in the courtroom, including his girlfriend Yandy Smith.

The Cliff View Pilot reports:

Fellow “Love & Hip Hop” star Yandy Smith was among those in the courtroom who leapt to their feet and stomped, clapped, shouted and sobbed, raising arms skyward, as the verdicts to the eight individual charges were read just before 4 p.m.

“I love you!” one of them shouted to the jurors, who returned the verdicts after a few hours of deliberations.

Sheriff’s officers then asked them to return to order.

When they wouldn’t, Presiding Superior Court Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebbi directed the officer to escort the group out of her courtroom.

The trial started early this week and the state rested its case yesterday. The jury began deliberating this morning around 11:30am. At about 3:00pm jurors were given the option to continue deliberating on Monday since the courthouse was schedule to close because of the snowstorm hitting the east coast. Instead, the remained and returned with their verdict before 4:00pm. Harris took the stand yesterday and denied all of his accuser’s accusations, which included receiving oral s-x for cash. was charged with seven counts of child abuse and with promoting pr0stitution. Had he not been acquitted, he would have faced up to 20 years in prison. However, this is just the first hurdle for Harris. He still has drug trafficking case against him in Rochester to deal with. Now that the New Jersey trial is over, early next week he will be extradited to the upstate city where is accused of being involved in pushing $2.5 million worth of heroin and cocaine. Smith took to Twitter and Instagram to share the news. “Truth always comes out…NOT GUILYY!!!! She then posted a photo of Mendeecees and his son that read, ”No matter how much they tried to rip you of your pride, defame your name, degrade you…you kept your faith in God and told me to keep my head up. So I did. Not Guilty! I say it again NOT GUILTY!!!!”

Love & Hip Hop NY’s Mendeecees Harris Accused Of Dealing $2.5M In Cocaine & Heroin

. . , , , , , , ,

Mendeecees Harris is about that life, allegedly. The Love & Hip Hop New York cast member is currently in jail in Rochester and stands accused of trafficking $2.5 million worth her0in and c0caine. 

Democrat and Chronicle reports:

While court records provide few details about the criminal case against Harris and his co-defendants, Ronald Walker and Tyrus Harris, the indictment shows that authorities have already seized more than $1.5 million from safety deposit boxes connected with the case. Also seized was nearly $407,000 worth of jewelry and watches, including a $60,000 Rolex and another $35,000 Rolex. Authorities are also pushing for the forfeiture of properties in Georgia and Baltimore. Harris surrendered for arrest on the Rochester-area indictment on Jan. 24. He is expected to be arraigned in Rochester after a current trial in New Jersey. Harris’ co-defendants have pleaded not guilty at arraignments in Rochester, records show.

Along with these drug charges, Harris also stands accused of s-xually assaulting an underage girl in New Jersey. Opening remarks of the trial—Harris is accused of getting fellatio from a then 15-year-old girl in 2011—were scheduled to begin January 29. But after his arrest in Rochester, we are unsure when the trial will begin.

Although it was thought Harris would be booted from the show after the NJ allegations, Love & Hip-Hop’s creator, Mona Scott-Young, denied such claims. Mendeecees Harris is seen putting his hands on an out of pocket personal trainer in a preview of the next episode that was seen at the conclusion of last night’s new episode. None of this should be a surprise to Harris who was reportedly indicted on the drug charges last fall and is accused of trafficking the drugs between 2005 and August 2012.

Love & Hip Hop New York Cast Members Booted From Show Amid Underage Assault Allegations

. . , , , , , , ,

If you watched the second episode of Love & Hip Hop New York, then you may have noticed that cast member Mandeecees Harris and his girl, Yandy Smith, were missing in action. Rumor has it that they’ve been axed from the show amid allegations that Harris s-xually assaulted a teen girl. Harris is on trial for receiving oral pleasure from a then 15-year-old girl, in 2009 and 2010. The 35-year-old father is also accused of fondling the youngster, and faces up to 20 years in prison. Producers of LHHNY are said to be scrambling to edit footage from the current season, removing both Harris and Smith. Their storyline had been teased on VH1 and was based around the birth of their now 6-month-old son, and Smith’s desire to get married to Harris. The couple has yet to release a statement on the allegations and have pretty much gone silent on social media since news of the inappropriate encounter with the underage girl was unearthed, last week. Harris owns the Beat Factory studio in the Bronx and recently joined the reality show, which added a bunch of new members to its cast including Joe Budden, whose relationship and drug abuse struggles have been chronicled on the show.via: hiphopwired
