CelebnMusic247.com reports that R. Kelly and his defense attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, filed a notice of appeal. The appeal did not state the grounds on which they wish to appeal.

A previous filing accused prosecutors of being “Invigorated by an influential social movement determined to punish centuries of male misbehavior through symbolic prosecutions of high-profile men, the government brought a RICO prosecution against the Defendant that was ‘absurdly remote’ from the drafters’ intent.”

The disgraced singer was placed on suicide watch after being sentenced to 30 years in jail.

The judge said during R. Kelly‘s sentencing:

The public has to be protected from behaviors like this. These crimes were calculated and carefully planned and regularly executed for almost 25 years. You taught them that love is enslavement and violence.

The singer was initially placed on suicide watch before being released to gen pop.
