A federal judge will decide Thursday how long R. Kelly will spend in prison, nearly six months after a Chicago jury found the disgraced R&B superstar guilty of multiple child pornography and enticement charges.
to account for the “indescribable harm” he caused his victims, including his then-underaged goddaughter “Jane.”
In Chicago, Kelly was found guilty on three child pornography-related counts and three child enticement charges. He was acquitted on seven other counts, including a fourth child pornography count. Both Milton “June” Brown and Kelly’s former business manager Derrel McDavid — who went to trial alongside the singer last year — were acquitted on charges they covered up that abuse by concealing illicit video tapes.
Kelly’s defense attorney Jennifer Bonjean has taken issue with the government’s claim that Kelly has shown no remorse for his crimes, stating that she’s advised her client to remain silent while he still faces criminal charges in Minnesota and has an ongoing appeal to his New York conviction.
