In 2022, the rapper was charged in an indictment accusing him and more than two dozen other people of conspiring to violate Georgia’s anti-racketeering law; he was also charged with gang, drug, and gun crimes.
On Thursday, October 31, 2024, he was released after pleading guilty to one gang charge, three drug charges, and two gun charges. He also entered a no-contest plea to another gang charge and a racketeering conspiracy charge, meaning that he decided not to contest those charges and accepted the punishment for them.
After hearing sentencing recommendations from both sides, the judge in the case, Paige Reese Whitaker, sentenced Young Thug to time served plus 15 years of probation.
