Former R&B singer R Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, continues to serve a 30-year sentence in a federal facility. Kelly’s sentence stems from a September 2021 sex trafficking conviction in New York, per CNN. According to BBC, a Brooklyn jury had found him guilty of eight counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering. Reuters reported that his sex trafficking crimes violated the Mann Act. The act prohibits transporting people across state lines for prostitution.

CNN stated that then, in 2022, Kelly received another 20 years in federal prison after a second conviction in his hometown of Chicago. He was facing multiple counts of production of child pornography and enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity. He received the term while already serving the previous 30-year prison sentence.

Lifetime’s award-winning documentary series Surviving R Kelly examines the disgraced singer’s crimes. The docuseries comprises two seasons and reveals several women, the victims of Kelly’s sex crimes, speaking up about their experiences. Surviving R. Kelly is streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Lifetime.
