R Kelly Found GUILTY... Again | BREAKING NEWS
Episode 449, Sep 15, 2022, 03:19 PM
As expected, R. Kelly was found guilty on all charges brought against him, including those of child porn and enticement.
R. Kelly was charged with 13 separate charges, including conspiracy to manipulate evidence and bribe victims in a prior case.
On Wednesday, a jury in Chicago found R. Kelly guilty on all charges.
The "I Believe I Can Fly" singer was found guilty of three charges of child pornography and three counts of child enticement in 2021 and is presently serving a 30-year term in a New York prison for sexually assaulting underage fans.
On top of manufacturing and receiving child pornography and coercing juveniles into engaging in criminal sexual behavior, Kelly, 55, was also charged with obstructing justice for allegedly paying off a minor victim and witnesses in a Chicago case filed in 2002.
In her closing address on Tuesday, prosecutor Jeannice Appenteng stated, "[L]adies and gentlemen, what R. Kelly desired was to have sex with young girls."
On Tuesday, after viewing a section of an explicit video in which one of Kelly's accusers, named Jane, claimed to be 14 at the time it was filmed, the jury began deliberations.
Kelly was found not guilty on 21 charges of child pornography in 2008, despite allegations that he had worked with others to fabricate evidence and intimidate or bribe witnesses. Federal court filings claim that "Minor 1," the first victim referenced in the investigation, was under the age of 14 when Kelly filmed himself having sex with her.
In the federal trial, "Minor 1" testified at the age of 30.
According to the complaint, Derrel McDavid and Milton Brown, two of Kelly's friends, also conspired to clear the "Ignition" singer of the abuse claims.
Teenage Daughter 1 allegedly told her parents that R. Kelly would be her godfather after seeing him in the 1990s when she was a junior in high school and her aunt visited Kelly at his recording studio.
One of Minor 1's parents testified against Kelly in 2008, and Kelly was suspected of paying them off. He will have to wait until he is 80 years old before he can apply for release.
