Prosecutors have asked a federal judge to sentence Kelly, 56, to a quarter-century in prison as a result of his conviction in Chicago last summer. They said Kelly should not begin serving that sentence until after he has finished serving a 30-year federal prison sentence for racketeering.
Federal prosecutors say R&B singer R. Kelly should be sentenced to another 25 years in prison — keeping him behind bars until 2066 and virtually guaranteeing he would never walk free again.
The feds made their request in a 37-page memo filed one week before Kelly is expected to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber. Prosecutors asked the judge to sentence Kelly, 56, to a quarter-century in prison as a result of his conviction in Chicago last summer.
They said Kelly should not begin serving that sentence until after he has finished serving a 30-year federal prison sentence for racketeering, which is already likely to keep him locked up until his late 70s.
“Robert Kelly is a serial sexual predator who, over the course of many years, specifically targeted young girls and went to great lengths to conceal his abuse,” prosecutors wrote.
