The Supreme Court has declined to hear R. Kelly‘s appeal over his 2022 convictions on child pornography and enticement charges. The disgraced R&B singer, legal name Robert Kelly, has now exhausted all direct appeals from the verdict, per Billboard.

Kelly’s legal team based its appeal on the argument that the case should have been barred in the first place by the statute of limitations. His attorney Jennifer Bonjean explained to the outlet earlier this year that an updated federal law extending the time limit was passed in 2003, arguing it could not be used in accusations against Kelly’s because his alleged crimes occurred between the late 1990s and early 2000s.
