Breaking: R&B Star R. Kelly Convicted of Racketeering, Sex Trafficking

R. Kelly, the R&B music star, was convicted of racketeering and eight counts of sex-trafficking by a jury on Monday, following decades of allegations of misconduct.

Prosecutors argued that Kelly used managers and aides to help him meet girls, many of them teenagers, who he later abused. A jury of five women and seven men announced their verdict in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn after two days of deliberations.

Several accusers testified against Kelly, whose most famous song is “I Believe I Can Fly,” and further scrutiny also fell on Kelly’s illegal 1994 marriage to R&B star Aaliyah, when she was 15 years old.
