Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence R. Kelly to 25-years in prison, calling the R&B singer a “serial sexual predator” who has preyed on young women and “refuses to accept responsibility for his crimes.”
R. Kelly appears for a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Court Building on Friday, March 22, 2019 in Chicago.
“Kelly committed horrific crimes against children,” assistant U.S. attorneys wrote in the filing. “He not only refuses to accept any responsibility for his conduct, but he repeatedly deflects any blame for his crimes, and instead advocates that he is being treated unfairly because, for example, ‘other artists and musicians’ should be prosecuted for these crimes.
Kelly, 56, received his 30-year sentence last year following his conviction in New York on separate charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He faces between 10 and 90 years in prison in this latest case. “Jane” — the government’s key witness and Kelly’s own goddaughter — told jurors that she indeed was the 14-year-old girl with Kelly in the three separate sex videos shown to jurors at trial.
