Sex Racketeer R Kelly Sentenced to 20 Years of Prison For Child Sex Crime

A Washington Court recently sentenced R&B singer R. Kelly to 20 years in prison following his conviction last year for child pornography & enticement of a minor.

According to the sources, Kelly has already served a 30-year prison term for his 2021 conviction on racketeering & sex trafficking charges in the New York Federal Court.

The US district Judge Harry D. Leinenweber stated in the court that 19 years of the 20-years prison sentence would be served concurrently, or the same time as his other sentence. Therefore, one year would be served consecutively and after that the sentence is complete.  

Therefore, Kelly was convicted in September on three counts of production of child pornography and three counts of enticement of a minor to engage in the  criminal sexual activity. An appeal for a new trial was denied last week.

According to the sources, prior to the sentence, Attorney Christopher Brown read from a statement given by one of Kelly’s victims, identified as “Jane.” He read that “I have lost my dignity due to Robert Kelly. I have lost my dreams due to Robert Kelly. I have lost my teenage years to Robert Kelly.”

Jane wrote that Kelly was “abusive and dominating” and made her suicidal. “I will forever be the girl that R Kelly peed on,” Jane said through the attorney, referencing to the infamous sex tape video shown during his trial which showed Kelly urinating on a victim.

The sentence hearing is the culmination of nearly three decades of allegations Kelly had sexually abused underage girls, accusations first laid out in the Chicago Sun-Times. In 2002, Kelly was indicted on child pornography charges for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with an unidentified underage girl, but he was acquitted in 2008.
