Prosecutors rested their case Tuesday at R. Kelly’s federal trial in Chicago after presenting two weeks of evidence and testimony in their effort to show that the singer enticed underage girls for sex, produced child pornography and successfully rigged his 2008 state trial.
after presenting two weeks of evidence and testimony in their effort to show that the singer enticed underage girls for sex, produced child pornography and successfully rigged his 2008 state trial.
The highlight of prosecutors’ case was testimony by a 37-year-old woman who used the pseudonym "Jane" and described Kelly sexually abusing her hundreds of times starting in 1998 when she was 14 and Kelly was around 30.Ronald S. Safer from Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila LLP shares his takeaways from the federal trial of R. Kelly and what he expects to come out of court this week.
Kelly’s legal team now gets its chance to attack the government’s case. His lawyers haven’t said whether Kelly will testify. Kelly, 55, didn’t testify at his earlier federal trial in New York, where a judge sentenced him in June to 30 years in prison for convictions on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. A conviction in Chicago could add years to that sentence.Closing arguments in the federal trial in Chicago are expected next week.
