The hearing lasted just minutes. It came a day after an attorney said she was okay dropping the case because R. Kelly will spend decades in prison for separate convictions.

CHICAGO — A judge dismissed sex-abuse charges against R&B singer R. Kelly on Tuesday based on the recommendation of a Chicago prosecutor.

Kelly was awaiting trial on state charges of sexually abusing four people in the Chicago area, three of whom were minors. He was not present when Judge Lawrence Flood dismissed the indictments. Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, is serving a 30-year prison sentence in the New York case and awaits sentencing on Feb. 23 in Chicago federal court.

“I have spent nearly 20 years hoping that my abuser would be brought to justice for what he did to me," Carter said Monday.

What if he wins his appeal? Will they be refiled or just meh, it’s over? No justice.
