R. Kelly gets another year in prison after Chicago  sex abuse conviction

A judge sentenced disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly to 20 years in prison after a Chicago jury last year found him guilty of sex crimes, including child pornography and enticement. The judge ruled Kelly can serve nearly all of the new sentence concurrently with his earlier 30-year sentence, so he will only get one additional year in prison. Kelly was acquitted on child pornography charges in 2008, but a Brooklyn jury convicted him of racketeering and sex trafficking in 2021. Prosecutors had sought an additional 25 years in prison for the Chicago conviction, saying, "the only way to ensure Kelly does not reoffend is to impose a sentence that will keep him in prison for the rest of his life."
