Kelly co-defendant and longtime business manager Derrel McDavid was also acquitted on the same count, as well as three other charges.
Jurors also acquitted Kelly of receiving child pornography and one count of producing child pornography. He was convicted of producing child pornography and enticing girls for sex. His attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, plans to appeal.The claim was that Kelly and McDavid conspired to ensure key witnesses at the 2008 trial would lie about Kelly's sexual abuse of girls and refuse to testify.
The conspirators, said prosecutors, applied particular pressure on a girl - now 37 and referred to in federal court as "Jane" - and her parents. State and federal prosecutors said she was the girl Kelly is seen sexually abusing on a VHS tape that was at the heart of the 2008 trial.Jane and her parents said they lied to a grand jury in the early 2000s about Kelly's sexual abuse, and they didn't testify at the 2008 trial.
Critically to their theory of the case, federal prosecutors also alleged Kelly intermittently paid Jane's rent - by then in her 30s - until just several years ago to ensure she kept quiet.Steps Kelly and others allegedly took to fix the 2008 trial happened two decades ago, so memories of how the purported crime unfolded have dimmed. At least four men who may have had direct knowledge of what happened have since died.
Susan said she, her husband and Kelly cried as the parents confronted Kelly about sexually abusing their daughter. While asking for forgiveness, she said Kelly also said: "You are either with us or against us."Another key witness was Kelly's ex-girlfriend Lisa Van Allen. She told jurors she stole a sex video around 2000 from a gym bag Kelly had that was full of such recordings on a rare occasion when he left it unattended.
That's because the federal statute of limitation says someone can't be charged with such a conspiracy if it ceased within five years of an indictment.
