R. Kelly attends a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Court building, in Chicago, Sept. 17, 2019.&B superstar R. Kelly was found guilty Wednesday on sex crime charges, including producing child pornography and enticing minors to engage in sexual activity, in his second federal trial.

Good, when are we going after Jeffrey Epstein's clients?

Told you that Mann Act was created to nab touring BLACK musicians, with the 17 year old girl singer 'legal' in one state not the next.

Seems light. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why is this news right now?! It's old news. Give it up.

America once had laws that allowed 12 year old girls to be married and they allowed slavery. Jailing a man for 30 years is just something else

Black men should just return to Africa

Biden is going to pardon this guy…

30 years ain't enough he should have been jailed for life . M

Good.

Bullet.

Wherever he serves will have free music entertainment for 30 yrs!

🔒 his ass up!

Good!
