The same jury acquitted him of seven other charges, including obstruction of justice, accusing him and two associates of rigging his 2008 child pornography trial in Cook County. Kelly still faces a solicitation of prostitution charge in Minnesota, although that case has stalled as his federal cases took precedence.
