The sentence comes two years after a jury handed down the guilty verdict for the sexual abuse, which began in 2015.
The stepdaughter took the stand in the 2017 trial to testify that Maraj raped her in their Baldwin home while he was married to her mother.
Maraj denied the allegations, claiming the story was concocted to extort his famous younger sister.
