American singer, R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for s£x abuse

American R&B singer, and songwriter, Robert Sylvester Kelly, professionally known as R. Kelly, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for recruiting and trapping teenagers and women for s*x.
The embattled singer was given this penalty on Wednesday for using his superstardom to subject young fans — some just children — to systematic sexual abuse.

Judge Ann Donnelly handed down the term in the Brooklyn federal court nearly a year after the 55-year-old Kelly was convicted by a New York jury.

Announcing this, the US attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York said:

“The verdict is in: R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years,”

The prosecutors had urged the court to put the “I Believe I Can Fly” artist behind bars for at least 25 years, saying he still “poses a danger to the public.”
