What is included in the rapper’s consent form from the YSL trial?

After more than 150 days of trial and more than two years in the Fulton County Jail, Jeffery Williams, also known as Young Thug, was released Thursday evening.

Williams, who has been in prison since 2022 on a major Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act charge in Fulton County, pleaded guilty to the YSL RICO case as part of a no-negotiation plea deal.

In his plea agreement, Williams was sentenced under the first-offender/conditional release law to a total of 40 years in prison, with the first five years in prison. The sentence was commuted to time served, followed by a 15-year probationary sentence and a subsequent 20-year prison sentence.

If Williams completes the entire 15-year probation sentence, the suspended portion of the sentence will be converted to time served.

Williams pleaded guilty to counts 57, 58, 59, 60, 61 and 62 of the indictment, but pleaded nolo contendere to counts 1 and 56 of the indictment. These charges constituted a conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and were unlawful for any person holding the position of organizer/supervisor/management of a criminal street gang.

The special conditions of his probation include that Williams is not allowed to be in the Atlanta metropolitan area for 48 hours after his release for the first 10 years of his probation. The only exceptions are if he is attending a wedding, funeral or graduation, or there is a medical emergency involving an immediate family member.

Second, Williams must return to the Atlanta area to give a live presentation against gang and gun violence four times a year at an elementary school, middle school, Boys and Girls Club or similar group.

Williams is also prohibited from communicating with anyone affiliated with a criminal street gang who is not his immediate family, with the exception of his biological brother and Sergio Kitchens, aka Gunna.

He is also prohibited from promoting criminal street gangs, including on social media, nor is he permitted to raise hand signals that would directly or indirectly promote or represent criminal street gangs.
