A federal appeals court has upheld R. Kelly’s convictions on child p***ogra**y and enticement charges, more than 18 months after the conclusion of his trial in Chicago.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected the R&B singer’s claim that the statute of limitations had passed and instead affirmed his convictions, stating that “(f)or years, Robert Sylvester Kelly abused underage girls.”
“By employing a complex scheme to keep victims quiet, he long evaded consequences,” the court wrote in its ruling. “In recent years, though, those crimes caught up with him at last. But Kelly — interposing a statute-of-limitations defense — thinks he delayed the charges long enough to elude them entirely. The statute says otherwise, so we affirm his conviction.”
A Chicago jury found Kelly guilty on three child p***ogra**y-related counts and three child enticement charges following a monthlong trial in 2022, finding that he 6ually abused his 14-year-old goddaughter “Jane” and other minors in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Free Kelz!
Welp, that's that. Don't drop the soap!
December 2045 is a long time from now.
How Harvey out?
Harvey has not been released. 2 charges got dropped.
Y’all so aggravating with this but look at dwhyte man so you saying a black man should go free just because a whyt one did? The. Yall don’t even have the full facts Harvey is not free!!! He still in jail and his appeal has nothing yo do with statute of limitations and everything to do with improper things that happened during his trail. The judge allowed certain people to testify or give statements at the trail who was not suppose to. Instead of R Kelly appeal on statute of limitations maybe he should have tried another argument.
Our community is overran with violence grape and DV unalivings and the first thing yall want to say is BUUUUTTT dwhyte man! This men are being held accountable they are getting arrested going to court and getting convicted so STOP with the lies and false equivalencies and false narratives.
What the hell is grape?
