R. Kelly Convicted after he was found guilty of Child Abuse.
After a month-long trial in his hometown of Chicago, the disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly, who is currently serving a 30-year sentence for s*x offenses, was found guilty of child abuse charges on Wednesday.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Robert Sylvester Kelly, was found guilty on three charges of creating adult scences with children and three counts of enticing a juvenile.
According to the publication, a federal jury cleared three-time Grammy Award winner Kelly of seven additional counts, including the allegation that he interfered with justice during a prior trial.
R. Kelly and two former associates were charged with manipulating the singer’s 2008 child abuse trial, which resulted in a not guilty decision from the jury.
On Wednesday, the obstruction charges against Derrel McDavid, Kelly’s former manager, and Milton “June” Brown, an ex-employee, were also dropped.
In September, Kelly was found guilty in New York of soliciting young girls and women for s*x
In the New York case, the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer was convicted guilty of eight counts of s*x trafficking and one count of racketeering.
The #MeToo movement hailed Kelly’s conviction in New York as a turning point since it marked the first significant s*x assault trial in which Black women made up the vast majority of the accusers.
It was also the first time Kelly was charged with a crime for the mistreatment of women and children about which there had long been rumors.
R. Kelly is also under investigation by two additional state authorities.
