A federal judge sentenced R. Kelly to 20 years for child sex crimes. It didn’t take the jury long to come to the decision after they were shown three videos of Kelly abusing his 14-year-old goddaughter.
Along with his 30-year term for racketeering and sex trafficking, Kelly will serve his time in Federal prison.
Federal prosecutors had argued that Mr. Kelly deserved 25 years in prison on top of his earlier sentence, citing the singer’s “lack of remorse” as a reason he would pose a danger to society if released.
