R. Kelly Sentenced to 30 Years for Racketeering + Sex Trafficking!
Singer R. Kelly career is officially dead. Maybe he can befriend his crazed fan who was planning an attack on U.S. Attorney’s office?
The R&B singer has been sentenced in a Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday after being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking in September 2021. Get all the details since R. Kelly has been sentenced…
CelebnMusic247.com reports Robert Sylvester Kelly, the singer-songwriter, 55, was found guilty on one charge of racketeering and eight counts of violating the Mann Act. Wow, R. Kelly Sentenced! #SMH
That law basically prohibits the transport of “any woman or girl” across state lines for any “immoral purpose,” in September 2021.
It took about nine hours across two days for the jury of seven men and five women to deliberate and eventually convict the “I Wish” singer.
Acting US Attorney Jacquelyn Kasulist said outside the courtroom after the verdict:
To the victims in this case, your voices were heard, and justice was finally served. No one deserves what they experienced at his hands. Or the threats and harassment they faced.
According to PageSix:
His sentencing was originally scheduled for May 4, but was pushed back.
Prosecutors asked Judge Ann Donnelly for a sentence of more than 25 years for the Grammy winner, stating in a sentencing memo that the Chicago-born crooner relied on his fame and money to “both carry and conceal his crimes.”
The US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York wrote at the time:
In light of the seriousness of the offenses, the need for specific deterrence and the need to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant … the government respectfully submits that a sentence in excess of 25 years is warranted.
Indeed, the defendant’s decades of crime appear to have been fueled by narcissism and a belief that his musical talent absolved him of any need to conform his conduct — no matter how predatory, harmful, humiliating or abuse to other — to the strictures of the law,” the memo went on.
He continued his crimes and avoided punishment for them for almost 30 years and must now be held to account.
R. Kelly Still Facing charges of child pornography and obstruction.
The singer, who has been jailed since 2019, faces separate charges of child pornography and obstruction of justice in a federal case in Chicago, where a trial is set for August 1.
This is sad that Kellz ended up being a predator of young women. They always say your dirt will rise to the surface if you don’t clean up your act. R. Kelly never cleaned up his act and continued to abuse women, and now he will be in prison. We wonder if he will become a Roberta?
What are your thoughts since R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years?
