After nine hours of deliberations, the jury found R. Kelly guilty of all nine counts he faced in the trail in Brooklyn federal court, including racketeering — which has 14 underlying acts including kidnapping, forced labor, sex trafficking and bribery. also charged with eight counts of violating the Mann Act

Of 14 possible racketeering acts considered in the trial, the jury found only two “not proven.” Those two allegations involved a woman who said Kelly took advantage of her in 2003 when she was an unsuspecting radio station intern.


How many years does Kelly face in prison?

Kelly faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on May 4.
What other charges does Kelly still face?
Kelly also has pleaded not guilty to sex-related charges in Illinois and Minnesota. Trial dates in those cases have yet to be set.



JUSTICE!
About time!

I think it's a little ridiculous that 20 years is the maximum sentence for these types of charges. It should be at least double that. You may remember a few years ago I forgot where the officer was from but he was convicted of multiple counts of sexual assault
I'm not exaggerating when I say this b, by the time the judge was down handing out sentences he had like 300 years

Yeah, that's a lot of time! But how this guy has gotten away with this for so long is beyond me. They claim he's holding young women hostage. Let's see what it comes down to. Doubt he'll see that kind of time.

in this interview, Kelly's ex-wife discusses how she feels America is a culture that tends to gaslight sexual assault of women of color and that had Mr Kelly's victims been Caucasian women, it wouldn't have taken 30 years to lock him up
Do you think she has a valid point here?
