R Kelly, real name Robert Sylvester Kelly, was found guilty in September 2021 on all nine charges against him.
The charges include bribery, forced labor, kidnapping, exploitation of a child, racketeering involving six alleged victims, and sexual trafficking across state lines.
During the trial, several accusers testified in lurid detail, alleging that Kelly subjected them to perverse and sadistic whims when they were underage.
