The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “R Kelly sex trafficking: Lawyers and supporters react to singer’s conviction” – below is their description.
R Kelly, the R&B singer, has been convicted in a sex trafficking trial after prosecutors accused him of leading a decades-long scheme to abuse underage girls and women.
Jurors in Brooklyn federal court deliberated for a little more than one day before finding the 54-year-old guilty on all nine counts he faced. He could face decades in prison.
Prosecutors said “justice was finally served” for Mr Kelly’s victims, while the singer’s defence lawyer Deveraux Cannick made accusations of inconsistent witness testimonies.
Mr Kelly’s supporters also expressed their disappointment about the verdict, while a producer of the ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ documentary spoke of her relief.
