R. Kelly Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison After Sex Trafficking Conviction

Robert Kelly, better known as R. Kelly, learned his prison sentence on Wednesday.

The Grammy-winning singer was convicted on sex trafficking, sexual exploitation of a child and numerous racketeering charges last year, according to The New York Times. He was also found guilty of violating the Mann Act, a federal law that criminalizes transporting women or girls across state lines for purposes of prostitution.

He was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison and given a $100,000 fine for his crimes.

Kelly’s attorneys had sought a sentence below 10 years. The sentencing judge ultimately agreed with prosecutors’ request for a sentence of more than 25 years.

Kelly was one of the most popular recording artists of the 1990s and 2000s.
