R KELLY DOUBLE UP 320 TRIAL
On August 17, 2022, another trial began in Chicago federal court, where Kelly is currently facing charges for corruptly fixing his 2008 Illinois trial. Ī 2021 trial in Brooklyn federal court convicted Kelly for violations of the Mann Act and racketeering, resulting in a 30-year prison sentence. Kelly was arrested on federal charges and denied bail in July 2019. As a result of the ensuing backlash, RCA Records dropped Kelly and law enforcement in New York, Chicago, and Minneapolis pursued new criminal cases against him.

Kelly sparked renewed public attention regarding accusations of Kelly's sexual misconduct with minors. Kelly evaded lasting consequences until the 2019 documentary television series Surviving R. He stood trial in 2008 on child pornography charges, winning acquittal. Starting in the 1990s, Kelly faced accusations of using his fame to lure young fans, including minors, into inappropriate sexual relationships. Critics have dubbed him "the King of R&B." while he had proclaimed himself the " Pied Piper of R&B."

He won three Grammys for his song " I Believe I Can Fly," and several additional nominations for his song " You Are Not Alone" recorded by Michael Jackson. With a discography that spanned three decades, Kelly has sold over 75 million records worldwide, making him the most commercially successful male R&B artist of the 1990s and one of the world's best-selling music artists. Robert Sylvester Kelly (born January 8, 1967) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer who has been convicted on racketeering & sex offender charges.
