Real Housewives of Atlanta alum NeNe Leakes is dating an attorney with a lengthy list of charges against him … which ended with only a misdemeanor.
TMZ obtained video showing Nene and Arthur Earle Horne III canoodling courtside at FedExForum in Memphis. Witnesses said they were also hugging and very touchy-feely all night. “The two could not have looked happier.”

Nene’s beau, attorney Arthur Earl Horne III, was arrested for allegedly r*ping and assaulting his ex-girlfriend in Tennessee nearly 9 years ago. He ended up only being convicted of a misdemeanor.
He was arrested in February 2017 after Memphis PD officers responded to a 911 call at the home of his former girlfriend. “Nearly a decade ago, a jury heard all of the evidence and found Arthur Earle Horne III NOT GUILTY on every serious charge brought against him, including aggravated r*pe, aggravated kidnapping, and aggravated assault. That is the verdict. That is the record.”
“With respect to the misdemeanor, Mr. Horne has always maintained his innocence and accepted the outcome of that proceeding while never wavering from the truth. That matter was resolved by the courts years ago, and he has nothing further to say about it.”
According to media reports, a woman got into a fight with Arthur inside her home, which she claimed turned physical. The woman claimed she was beaten and sexually assaulted. She claimed injuries to her face, neck, and arm.
The court’s ruling:
A Memphis PD spokesperson said Arthur was indicted on one count of aggravated rape, three counts of aggravated kidnapping, and two counts of aggravated assault.
Court records show he was only convicted of misdemeanor assault. He received a sentence of just under a year of probation and 30 days in jail after being found not guilty of rape and kidnapping.
