R&B singer R. Kelly won’t be leaving prison anytime soon. The now incarcerated star was sentenced to 30 years on Wednesday, June 29, for sex trafficking charges, which he was convicted of for nine counts.
He was convicted in September for racketeering and violating the Mann Act, a guideline that prohibits transporting people across state lines for any unethical reasons. His sentence was more than 25 years.
“I know there are fans of R. Kelly who don’t believe us,” said one of the survivors who met R. Kelly when she was 17.
“I once lost hope in our justice system but you restored my faith, it’s a constant battle and I no longer live in silence. It is inhumane to endure sexual assault, sex trafficking, it is modern day slavery in plain sight.”
After his sentencing, Kelly is set to stand trial in August in Chicago on federal child pornography and obstruction of justice charges.Â
