A federal appeals court says singer R. Kelly was correctly sentenced to 20 years in prison on child sex convictions in Chicago.
The singer R. Kelly was correctly sentenced to 20 years in prison on child sex convictions in Chicago , a federal appeals court ruled Friday. Jurors in 2022 convicted the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, on three charges of producing child porn and three charges of enticement of minors for sex.
'The appeals court also rejected Kelly's argument that he should not have been prosecuted since the allegations occurred while Illinois law required prosecution of child sex crime charges within ten years. The panel labeled it an attempt by Kelly to elude the charges entirely after 'employing a complex scheme to keep victims quiet.'Kelly's attorney Jennifer Bonjean did not immediately respond to a message left with her office seeking comment on Kelly's behalf.
