R. Kelly Found Guilty of Child Pornography Charges

HeadlineSep 15, 2022

In Chicago, a federal jury has voted to convict R. Kelly on six charges of coercing minors into sexual activity and of producing sex tapes involving a minor. Kelly is already serving a 30-year prison sentence after a jury in Brooklyn convicted him of racketeering and sex trafficking charges last year. Each of Kelly’s convictions in Chicago will add a minimum of 10 years to his existing sentences. This conviction comes 14 years after Kelly was infamously acquitted on similar charges.
