R Kelly found guilty on racketeering and sex trafficking charges

Jury finds singer guilty of running a criminal enterprise that recruited women and children and subjected them to unwanted sex and mental torment

A jury has found the R&B superstar R Kelly guilty of being the ringleader of a decades-long racketeering and sex trafficking scheme that preyed upon Black women and children.

The disgraced singer was found guilty on all nine counts on Monday afternoon after decades of avoiding criminal responsibility for numerous allegations of misconduct, in a major #MeToo victory for Black women and girls.
