At the end of October, Tekashi 6ix9ine’s controversial 2015 sexual misconduct case came to a close after he was sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service and four years probation. Since then, the 22-year-old rapper born Daniel Hernandez pled not guilty to racketeering and guns charges after he was arrested by federal agents on November 18. Now, the Puerto Rican and Mexican rapper is reportedly up for re-sentencing as a result of the new federal charges.

According to a report from The New York Post, 6ix9ine’s legal team and prosecutors in the case have agreed to re-sentencing for the rapper. Because he is currently incarcerated on the the pending racketeering and firearms case, he is unable to serve the four years of probation to which he was originally sentenced. As a result, prosecutors are seeking additional prison time for the Dummy Boy rapper instead. The sexual misconduct case involved a video 6ix9ine posted of a 13-year-old girl engaging in a sex act.

The New York Post says 6ix9ine’s attorney has declined to comment. Tekashi 6ix9ine’s trial is scheduled for September 4, 2019.
