R Kelly
An R. Kelly accuser is being denied "closure" after Minnesota prosecutors dropped sex abuse charges, preventing her from testifying at a trial alleging prostitution with a minor.
Disgraced singer R. Kelly has been transferred to a North Carolina prison s he serves his 30-year sentence for sex trafficking.
The disgraced singer was sentenced on child porn charges.
"We believe justice has been served," Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said about dropping sex abuse charges against disgraced singer R. Kelly.
R. Kelly owes over $140,000 in court fees and fines, according to documents.
The disgraced singer was previously convicted of racketeering and eight counts of an anti-sex trafficking law that could have seen him sent to prison for the rest of his life.
From Dee Barnes to his ex-wife Nicole Young, Dr. Dre has a brutal history of domestic violence against Black women, in particular. The hip-hop icon's Super Bowl LVI halftime show performance reminded folks of that truth.
37-year-old Trump stump Brendan Hunt was arrested and convicted of posting a series of messages to social media that included death threats directed at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. On Tuesday, Hunt's attorneys filed a leniency request that included an R Kelly comic.
The family of one of R. Kelly's more infamous girlfriends, Joycelyn Savage, are still reaching out in hopes that she'll escape the Stockholm syndrome he seems to have over her even from prison.
The disgraced R&B singer is expected to be sentenced on May 4, 2022, after a federal jury found him guilty on sex trafficking and racketeering charges on Sept. 27.
Chuck D shared a tweet asking "How long should R. Kelly spend in prison -and does a USA system give a man a chance for a man to change his world around?" Meanwhile, embattled comedian Bill Cosby claimed Kelly "got railroaded."
As the verdict finding R Kelly guilty on all charges was announced, a number of his supporters were gathered outside the courthouse playing his music in defiance of the long-overdue push to #MuteRKelly. One supporter declared, "We will not give up on R Kelly." Meanwhile, Kelly's defense team is considering an appeal.
