Cyntoia Brown Married Christian Hip-Hop Artist J. Long While In Prison
Sex trafficking victim and newly released Cyntoia Brown is a married woman, and the lucky groom is Christian Hip-Hop artist J. Long says the publisher of her upcoming memoir.
J. Long (Jamie Long) was previously in the group Pretty Ricky before moving his love of music to the Christian community.
Documents show that Jamie previously married Pam Long from 90s girl group Total in 2013 but they divorced in 2018.
It’s not clear when he moved on with Cyntoia or how they met, but according to Tennessee law, they weren’t allowed to have conjugal visits.
Cyntoia Brown was released from Tennessee Prison For Women on Wednesday after 15 years. In 2004, she was sentenced to life for killing a 46-year old real estate man who sex-trafficked her when she was 16. Under Tennessee’s harsh sentencing laws she would not have been eligible for parole until she was 67 years old.
Former Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam granted her clemency.
She will be on parole for ten years as long as she keeps a job and doesn’t break any laws.
According to The Jasmine Brand, We’ll get to see more of her story, and possibly more of her and Long, when her documentary hits Netflix next year. A book about her journey, “Free Cyntoia: My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System” will be released on October 15.
Congratulations to the newlyweds!
