R. Kelly convicted of multiple child pornography and enticement ... (CNN)

R. Kelly was convicted of multiple child pornography charges at a Chicago federal trial and acquitted on others, according to the Chicago Tribune.

She said Kelly admitted to them he was having a sexual relationship with their daughter. She also testified she later denied to Chicago police investigators she and Kelly had a sexual relationship. Jane and her father received subpoenas to testify before a grand jury in 2002. Shortly after they met, Jane said she began spending more time with Kelly and Sparkle. “We exposed them in front of the jury and the jury made the right decision.” McDavid, Kelly’s former accountant and business manager, was charged with conspiracy to receive child pornography, receiving child pornography and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

A federal jury on Wednesday convicted R. Kelly of several child pornography and sex abuse charges in his hometown of Chicago, delivering another legal blow ...

They also suggested that at least one of his accusers was 17 — the age of consent in Illinois — when Kelly began pursing her for sex. At Kelly’s Chicago home later that year, Pauline described her shock when she said she first walked in on Kelly and a naked Jane. Jane testified that when her parents confronted Kelly in the early 2000s he dropped to his knees and begged them for forgiveness. Some jurors in the 2008 trial said they had to acquit Kelly because the girl in the video didn’t testify. Another accuser, Pauline, said Jane introduced her to Kelly when they were 14-year-old middle school classmates in 1998. Soon after that meeting, Jane told her parents Kelly was going to be her godfather. A conviction of just one count of child pornography carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years, while receipt of child pornography carries a mandatory minimum of five years. Brown, a Kelly associate for years, was acquitted of receiving child pornography. Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, was desperate to recover child pornographic videos he made and lugged around in a gym bag, witnesses said. They said he offered up to $1 million to recover missing videos before his 2008 trial, knowing they would land him in legal peril. He was found not guilty on all three counts of conspiring to receive child pornography and for two further enticement charges. Over objections from Kelly’s lawyer, the judge said they only need to find one.

R. Kelly: Disgraced R&B star guilty of child abuse (BBC News)

The sex offender is convicted on six out of 13 counts after a four-week trial in Chicago.

The court also heard last year how Kelly had illegally obtained paperwork to marry singer Aaliyah when she was 15 in 1994, seven years before she died in a plane crash. The 2008 trial centred on a 30-minute video of Kelly abusing a 14-year-old girl. The certificate, leaked at the time, listed Aaliyah's age as 18. But Jane, now 37 years old, testified last month that she is the person in that footage. "Who uses a 14-year-old child to film a video like this? "Who does that?"

A Chicago jury on Wednesday convicted R. Kelly of multiple child pornography charges in the second federal trial looking into sexual assault allegations ...

She said she previously lied to a Cook County grand jury about it, and that she eventually decided to cooperate with investigators and speak about the time she spent with Kelly because, in her words, “I no longer wanted to carry his lies.” Van Allen said she was pressured into the encounter and later told to lie about it to a lawyer.

Chicago prosecutors also accused Kelly and his two associates of conspiring to buy back sex tapes to conceal Kelly’s alleged misconduct. The 2008 trial in Chicago, which marked the first time Kelly was indicted on counts related to sexual misconduct, resulted from child pornography charges brought in 2002 after the Chicago Sun-Times was anonymously sent a videotape that appeared to depict Kelly sexually abusing and urinating on a minor.

In this year’s Chicago trial, prosecutors argued that Kelly, McDavid and Brown conspired to bribe witnesses so they would not cooperate with the investigation years ago. On Wednesday, Kelly was found guilty on six of the 13 counts against him: three for coercing minors into sexual activity, and three for producing videos of child sex abuse, according to the AP. “We know the acquittal was not deserved,” he said of Kelly’s 2008 trial.
