R Kelly

Federal appeals court conclude that the singer exploited his fame for over a quarter century to sexually abuse girls and young women.

Kelly was found guilty by a jury on six out of 13 counts, prosecutors said.

Kelly faces multiple counts of child sexual exploitation, enticement of a female and possession of material containing child pornography.

Kelly said Brooklyn jail wrongly put him on suicide watch after he received a 30-year prison sentence despite knowing he was not suicidal.

The sentence was imposed nine months after Kelly was convicted of racketeering and sex crimes.

Kelly's bid for leniency was detailed in a filing in Brooklyn federal court, one day before sentencing.

Prosecutors said Kelly exploited his stardom and wealth over a quarter century to lure women and underage girls for sex.

The late addition of a high-profile lawyer wasn't enough to help singer R. Kelly beat charges that he sexually abused women for decades.

Kelly kept his head down as the verdict was read, with his face shielded by a white mask.

The seven-man, five-woman jury in Brooklyn will resume deliberations on Monday, after spending more than 3-1/2 hours behind closed doors on Friday.

Kelly's lawyer Deveraux Cannick portrayed the singer's accusers as former fans or jilted lovers hoping to cash in on his fame.

Jurors have heard testimony from dozens of women and former employees about Kelly's alleged tightfisted control over his entourage.
