R. Kelly’s former business manager Derrel McDavid, from left, and attorneys Beau Brindley and Vadim Glozman stand before the media at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago after verdicts were reached in Kelly’s trial on Sept. 14, 2022.
Kelly was also found guilty Wednesday on three out of five counts related to enticement of a minor involving Jane, as she was known in the trial, and two other victims who came forward to testify against him. Kelly was also found not guilty of filming himself with Jane on a video that jurors never saw. Prosecutors said “Video 4″ was not played because Kelly’s team successfully buried it, but defense attorneys questioned whether it existed at all.
R. Kelly’s former business manager Derrel McDavid, from left, and attorneys Beau Brindley and Vadim Glozman stand before the media at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago after verdicts were reached in Kelly’s trial on Sept. 14, 2022. “When we have instances where defendants are convicted of committing horrific acts against other individuals, and it’s separate and apart from other horrific acts that he committed against other individuals, we’re asking for that to be consecutive,” Lausch said.
Bonjean also said she believed McDavid and Brown were charged only to try to get them to cooperate with investigators. Lausch disputed that, however, telling reporters it was “absolutely a righteous charge to bring” given the abuse Brittany allegedly suffered, and that his office would “bring it again tomorrow.” Lausch declined to say why Brittany didn’t testify.
Asked on the witness stand why, after two decades of silence, she finally decided to come forward and speak out, Jane said: “I became exhausted with living with lies.”y, Bonjean talked at length about Kelly’s relationship with Jane and her family, which continued far beyond her alleged abuse as a minor and, according to Bonjean, was approved by her parents.
In rebuttal, however, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeannice Appenteng said the evidence was clear that Kelly was a serial sexual predator and that his co-defendants made the decision to help him hide it to keep his career intact and keep lining their own pockets. All of the women faced hours of often-combative cross-examination from Bonjean, who hit hard on both their motives, the length of time it took them to come forward, and even whether they were truly underage when they began sexual relationships with the singer.
