R. Kelly was found guilty on Wednesday of several child pornography and sex abuse offences by a federal jury in his hometown of Chicago, delivering another blow to the singer who was once one of the biggest music stars in the world.
Kelly, 55, was found guilty on three counts of child pornography and three counts of child enticement.
But the jury acquitted him on a fourth pornography count as well as a conspiracy to obstruct justice charge accusing him of fixing his state child pornography trial in 2008, at which he was acquitted. He was also found not guilty on all three counts of conspiring to receive child pornography and for two further enticement charges.
His two co-defendants, Derrell McDavid and Milton Brown, were found not guilty on all charges.
The conviction marks the latest fall from grace for Kelly, who is already serving a 30-year prison sentence after being found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking in New York in June. U.S. attorney John Lausch said Kelly could face an overall sentence of 10 to 90 years in prison for the most recent convictions.
