R. Kelly Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison in Child Pornography Case: Details

R. Kelly has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of possession of child pornography and more.

The disgraced singer, 56, will serve 19 of those years at the same time as his current 30-year sentence, Judge Harry D. Leinenweber ruled in Chicago federal court on Thursday, February 23. Only one year of prison time will be added on to his overall sentence.

The musician, who was previously convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking in September 2021, was sentenced on Thursday on three counts of producing child pornography and three counts of enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity. He was convicted of the crimes in September 2022.

Prior to his sentencing, an attorney for one of Kelly’s victims read her heart-wrenching statement.

“I have lost my dignity due to Robert Kelly. I have lost my dreams due to Robert Kelly. I have lost my teenage years to Robert Kelly,” the lawyer, Christopher Brown, read in the courtroom, per CNN.

“I will forever be the girl that R. Kelly peed on,” Jane wrote in the statement, per Brown.
