R Kelly found guilty on charges of racketeering and trafficking

In related news, Legit.ng reported that R Kelly was found guilty of racketeering in his case that accused him of being involved in sex trafficking. The R&B singer was accused of using his fame to lure young girls and women close to him and subsequently abused them physically and sexually.

According to News24, the prosecutors portrayed Kelly as a violent predator who preyed on women for approximately 25 years. BBC reported that Kelly is scheduled to face sentencing on May 4, and will potentially spend decades behind bars.

When he was found guilty, Kelly said very little and his lawyer revealed that he was "shocked" at the verdict. His accusers provided hours of graphic testimony of his crimes that included transporting people across state lines.
