R.Kelly To Get more than 25 years in Prison 'To Protect the public' Accordingly to the Federal Prosecutors

 


The Federal Prosecutors want R&B singer and convicted sex offender R.Kelly to sit in prison for more than 25 years, according to a Thursday Legal filling.

Kelly, who is scheduled to be sentenced June 29, was found guilty last September of sexually abusing women, boys and girls for decades. He was convicted of all nine counts against him in the sex trafficking trial.

"In light of the seriousness of the offenses, the need for specific deterrence and the need for specific deterrence and the need to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant .... the government respectfully submits that a sentence in excess of 25 years is warranted," the US attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York wrote to the judge on the case.

The US Attorney's Office blasted the "I Believe I can fly" singer for "relying on his fame, money and popularity as an R&B recording star .... to both carry and conceal his crimes" as he got immense help from his large network of associates.

"He continued his crimes and avoided punishment for them for almost 30 years and must now be held to account." The 31-page filling delves into the "callous disregard" he showed his victims during his decades of abuse and sexual exploitation, warning that Kelly "is unlikely to be deterred from further sexually abusing and exploiting children and others."

The Feds noted if they get their wish, Kelly would be in his 70s when released from prison.

During the trial, the government called 45 witnesses to detail the horrors Kelly, whose full names is Robert Kelly, subjected his victim to. The Fed also said the artist behind the hit song "Ignition" has shown" no remorse for any of his conduct.

Kelly faces more criminal charges outside of New York. Minnesota state prosecutors charged him with engaging in prostitution with Minor and Federal prosecutors in Illinois charged him for child pornography and obstruction.
