R. KELLY SENTENCED BECAUSE OF THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF LITTLE GIRLS
In the lawsuit filed against the famous rapper, sexual abuse of girls under the age of 18 and abuse of his reputation was cited as the reason. The 55-year-old singer, whose music records have sold more than 75 million copies, was acquitted of the same crime in 2008.
VICTIMS TALKED
Some of the victims took the podium and expressed what had happened to them. Lizzette Martinez, who met Kelly when she was 17, said there was “a lot she could do to stop herself”.
“He had all the resources; we don’t have such resources. He could have gotten help,” he told BBC News. “I think he made so much money for so many powerful people that they kept him.”
LAWYERS DEFENSE INSUFFICIENT
Federal prosecutors had recommended that Kelly be sentenced to more than 25 years in prison, given the seriousness of his crimes and the “need to protect the public from further crimes.”
However, her lawyers demanded a prison sentence of 10 years or less, the mandatory minimum for her conviction. They portrayed Kelly as someone who grew up poor in a household of domestic violence and was sexually abused from a young age.
PRECEDENT DECISION FROM THE COURT
US District Judge Ann Donnelly stated that the celebrity used sex as a weapon, forcing her victims to do unspeakable things and exposing some to sexually transmitted diseases.
“You taught them that love is slavery and violence,” she said.
The court heard how Kelly, known for hit songs such as I Believe I Can Fly and Ignition has used her influence over two decades to sexually exploit women and children.
Brooklyn attorney general Breon Peace said: “I hope this DECISION proves that it doesn’t matter how rich, famous or powerful the abuser is. “Justice sees only the truth,” he said. The singer, who appeared before the judge in khaki clothes and dark glasses, did not make a statement and remained silent while the decision was made. Kelly’s lawyers have stated that they will appeal.
Fortunately, crime machine R. Kelly sentenced to 30 years! Thanks to the court for this decision.
JUSTICE FOR BLACK GIRLS
Jovante Cunningham, a former backup singer of Kelly’s, said she never believed this day would come. I am very proud of my friends who survived and I am very happy with the result.”
We don’t recommend it but if you want, you can take more details from the news. And finally, we hope all abusers will be punished as R. Kelly sentenced.
