Federal prosecutors Thursday asked a judge to give singer R Kelly 25 more years in prison for his child pornography and enticement convictions last year in Chicago, which would add to 30 years he recently began serving in a New York case. The 56-year-old wouldn't be eligible for release until he was around 100 if the judge agrees both to the 25-year sentence and another government request that Kelly begin serving his Chicago sentence only after the 30-year New York sentence is fully served.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천R Kelly Found Guilty on Multiple Charges of Child Pornography and Sexual Abuse.

In their sentencing recommendation filed before midnight Thursday in US District Court in Chicago, prosecutors described Kelly's behaviour as 슬롯사이트œsadistic,슬롯사이트� calling him 슬롯사이트œa serial sexual predator슬롯사이트� with no remorse and who "poses a serious danger to society.The only way to ensure Kelly does not reoffend is to impose a sentence that will keep him in prison for the rest of his life,슬롯사이트� the 37-page government filing says. Kelly's sentencing in Chicago is set for Thursday next week. Kelly's lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, wrote in a filing last week that even with his existing 30-year New York sentence, 슬롯사이트œKelly would have to defy all statistical odds to make it out of prison alive.슬롯사이트� She cited data that the average life expectancy of inmates is 64. She recommended a sentence of around 10 years, at the low end of the sentencing guidelines range, which she said could be served simultaneously with the New York sentence. In arguing for the lesser sentence, Bonjean alleged Kelly, who is Black, was singled out for behaviour that she said white rock stars have gotten away with for decades. 슬롯사이트œNone have been prosecuted and none will die in prison,슬롯사이트� she wrote. Prosecutors acknowledged that a 25-year sentence in the Chicago case would be more time than even sentencing guidelines recommend. But they argued imposing a long sentence and instructing it be served only after the New York sentence was appropriate. 슬롯사이트œA consecutive sentence is eminently reasonable given the egregiousness of Kelly's conduct,슬롯사이트� the filing argued. 슬롯사이트œKelly's sexual abuse of minors was intentional and prolific.슬롯사이트�슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Rapper R Kelly Sentenced to 30 Years in Sex Trafficking Case.

At the trial in Chicago last year, jurors convicted the Grammy Award winning singer on six of 13 counts. But the government lost the marquee count that Kelly and his then-business manager successfully rigged his state child pornography trial in 2008. Both of Kelly's co-defendants, including longtime business manager Derrel McDavid, were acquitted of all charges. Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, rose from poverty in Chicago to superstardom, becoming known for smash hit 슬롯사이트œI Believe I Can Fly슬롯사이트� and sex-infused songs such as 슬롯사이트œBump n' Grind.슬롯사이트� While the Grammy Award-winner went to trial in 2008, it wasn't until after the airing of Lifetime's 2019 docu-series, Surviving R Kelly 슬롯사이트� featuring testimonials by his accusers 슬롯사이트� that criminal investigations were kicked into high-gear, ending with federal and new state charges.

In January, an Illinois judge dismissed state sex-abuse charges prior to a trial on the recommendation of Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx. Foxx said she was comfortable dropping the case because Kelly would spend decades in prison for his federal convictions. Prosecutors at Kelly's federal trial in Chicago portrayed him as a master manipulator who used his fame and wealth to reel in star-struck fans to sexually abuse, in some cases to video record them, and then discard them.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천After deliberating over two days, jurors convicted Kelly of three counts each of producing child pornography and enticement of minors for sex, while acquitting him of obstruction of justice, one count of production of child porn and three counts of receiving child porn. The Chicago verdict came months after a federal judge in New York sentenced Kelly to 30 years in prison for racketeering and sex trafficking. Based on that sentence alone, he wouldn't eligible for release until he is around 80. Even if granted time off for good behaviour, Kelly would be only be eligible for release if he serves 25 years after the New York sentence in the year 2066, the government's Thursday filing said. It will be up to Judge Harry Leinenweber in Chicago to decide the crucial question of whether Kelly serves whatever sentence he imposes concurrently, simultaneously, with the New York sentence or consecutively.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천R Kelly, R&B Star, Sentenced To 30 Years In Jail For Sexually Assaulting Young Followers.

Kelly's legal team is appealing his New York and Chicago convictions.Prosecutors sometimes press for long sentences for defendants sentenced at earlier trials in a bid to ensure that, if some convictions are later tossed, they will still do some time behind bars. Bonjean argued that traumas throughout Kelly's life, including abuse as a child and illiteracy throughout adulthood, justified leniency in sentencing the singer. Kelly 슬롯사이트œis not an evil monster but a complex (unquestionably troubled) human-being who faced overwhelming challenges in childhood that shaped his adult life,슬롯사이트� she said. That the conduct for which he was convicted occurred decades ago should also be factored in, she said. 슬롯사이트œWhile Kelly was not a child in the late 1990s, he also was not the middle-aged man he was at the time of his 2019 indictment,슬롯사이트� she argued.슬롯사이트œKelly was a damaged man in his late 20s.슬롯사이트� She added that Kelly has already paid a heavy price from his legal troubles, including a financial one.
