R&B singer R. Kelly will be sentenced this Wednesday (29) for luring underage women and girls into sex.
Kelly, 55, was convicted last September in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, after a 5-and-a-half-week trial that amplified charges that have dogged the singer of the Grammy-winning hit “I Believe I Can Fly” since the early 2000s.
Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, is among those reported for sexual misconduct during the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct.
He has repeatedly denied allegations of sexual abuse.
At the trial, several of his abuse victims testified about how Kelly would require his victims to strictly abide by rules stipulated by him, such as needing his permission to eat or go to the bathroom, calling him “daddy” and writing “letters from apologies” that intended to absolve the singer of wrongdoing.
Kelly also faces federal charges in Chicago for child pornography and obstruction, and state charges in Illinois and Minnesota.
