R. Kelly’s new 20-year sentence adds only one year to existing 30-year prison term

LA Times  

R. Kelly leaves a Chicago courthouse in May 2019. Disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in federal prison after being convicted on child pornography and enticement charges — but he will serve nearly the entire sentence concurrently with his existing 30-year federal sentence for racketeering charges. A federal judge in Chicago said the 56-year-old, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, must serve one additional year in prison after his sentence from the New York racketeering case is done. In a sentencing recommendation filed late Thursday, federal prosecutors had asked U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber to sentence the singer to 25 years, calling him a “serial sexual predator” who would almost certainly re-offend if released. Music R. Kelly’s girlfriend Joycelyn Savage says she was impersonated online Joycelyn Savage surfaced this week to say that the person who wrote scathing blog posts against her “best friend,” singer R. Kelly, was not actually her.
