June 30, Legit.ng reported that American singer R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison after decades of sexual abuse allegations.
US District Judge Ann Donnelly passed down the sentence after listening to statements from seven victims in Brooklyn federal court. In 2021, after a six-week trial that included testimony from 45 witnesses in a Brooklyn courtroom, a jury found him guilty of racketeering and violations of the Mann Act.
According to Daily Mail, one of R. Kelly’s victims called out the R&B star in court for using his power and fame to groom children for his gratification.
Several of Kelly’s victims, including some who testified at his trial last year, are delivering impact statements before he is sentenced.
A victim identified as Angela looked at the accused, calling him out for luring children with his celebrity status and money.
She said:
“With every addition of a new victim, you grew in wickedness. You used your fame and power to groom and coach underage boys and girls for your own sexual gratification. Today we reclaim our names. We are no longer the preyed-upon individuals we once were.’I pray that God reaches your soul.”
