A U.S. district court judge in Brooklyn sentenced R. Kelly to 30 years in prison Wednesday. Kelly was found guilty of racketeering and eight counts of violations of the Mann Act, a sex trafficking law, in 2021. Though the R&B singer has faced allegations of sexual misconduct, outrage grew after the 2019 docuseries ’Surviving R. Kelly’ allowed his accusers to speak candidly about their experience. Kelly has been in jail since his arrest in 2019. He faces child pornography and obstruction of justice charges in Chicago.
