R. Kelly Will Get An Extra Year In Prison For His Recent Conviction
R Kelly’s child pornography and enticement sentence was extended by a year. The disgraced musician was found guilty of six of thirteen charges of child po*nography and enticing a minor in September.
On Thursday (February 23), he received a 20-year sentence, but he will spend most of it concurrently with his racketeering and trafficking sentence from last year.
After this sentence enhancement, Kelly will serve 31 years until 80. Chicagoans wanted to know if Kelly would serve the additional sentence simultaneously or after his 30-year sentence. The judge’s choice would have been a life sentence.
