R. Kelly timeline: Shining star to convicted sex trafficker
R&B singer R. Kelly will be sentenced Wednesday in a Brooklyn court after having been found guilty in a federal sex trafficking case in New York. Kelly, 55, was found guilty in September of sex trafficking charges where prosecutors are asking for a minimum 25-year sentence behind bars.The defense is arguing a term of 10 years or less is enough. Kelly also awaits another trial in Chicago for child pornography and obstruction of justice charges. Kelly was initially discovered in 1990 by Jive Records music executive Wayne Williams while he was performing at a barbecue.
