Kelly, 54, faces from 10 years to life in prison after being convicted on racketeering conspiracy charges alleging he used his music career to further a criminal enterprise.
Sentencing for R&B star R. Kelly on his racketeering conviction in New York was postponed Tuesday, but the judge denied a request to wait until after his trial on federal charges in Chicago in August.
Donnelly, however, denied Kelly’s lawyer’s attempt to postpone the sentencing until after his August trial in Chicago, where he’s accused of conspiring with two associates to rig his 2008 child pornography case in Cook County and hide years of alleged sexual abuse of young girls. Bonjean told the Tribune on Tuesday she will file a letter asking the judge to reconsider. She said she’s “concerned” by the judge’s refusal to move his sentencing, even though it’s now scheduled for just weeks before the start of trial in Chicago.
A jury found him guilty of 12 individual illegal acts, including sex with multiple underage girls as well as a 1994 scheme to bribe an Illinois public aid official to get a phony ID for 15-year-old singer Aaliyah so the two could get married.
