R. Kelly has been convicted of multiple child pornography charges at a federal trial and acquitted on others, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Kelly was convicted on three of four child pornography counts and acquitted on charges that he conspired to obstruct justice at his 2008 trial which stemmed from a 2002 state case. He was also found guilty on three of five counts of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity.
Jurors deliberated for about 10 hours after listening to three weeks-worth of testimony, including from one woman who testified anonymously that Kelly sexually abused her and recorded the interactions when she was as young as 14. The woman was one of five minors who prosecutors allege Kelly sexually abused in the late 1990s by making explicit videos with four of them. This is a developing story. CNN’s Amir Vera contributed to this report.
