Federal prosecutors asked an Illinois judge to sentence singer R. Kelly to 25 years behind bars on his Chicago conviction for child pornography and enticement — a term that could effectively lock him up for life.
The disgraced singer, 56, wouldn’t be eligible for release until he’s around 100 if the judge agrees on both to the prosecutors’ term — and another government requests that Kelly starts serving his Chicago sentence only after a 30-year New York sentence is completed.
In a sentencing recommendation filed late Thursday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, prosecutors called the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer’s behavior “sadistic,” adding that he’s “a serial sexual predator” with no remorse and who “poses a serious danger to society.
