A US judge on Thursday handed disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly a 20-year prison term for child pornography and other charges, but he will serve most of it simultaneously with a previous sentence.

The singer known for hits including “I Believe I Can Fly” was acquitted by a federal jury of seven other counts, including charges that he obstructed justice in a previous trial.

Kelly and two ex-associates had been accused of rigging the singer’s 2008 child pornography proceedings in which a jury delivered a verdict of not guilty. The federal conviction in Chicago came one year after Kelly was convicted in New York of systematically recruiting teenagers and women for sex. That verdict was widely seen as a milestone for the #MeToo movement: it was the first major sex abuse trial where the majority of the accusers were Black women.

It was also the first time Kelly faced criminal consequences for the abuse he was rumoured for decades to have inflicted on women and children.All rights reserved.
