R Kelly’s ex-wife says victim shaming stopped women coming forward

Drea Kelly puts focus on what happens outside courtroom after singer's racketeering and sex trafficking conviction

The culture around victim shaming stopped women coming forward sooner about the abuse they experienced at the hands of R Kelly, the singer's ex-wife Drea Kelly has said.

A New York jury on Monday found R Kelly guilty of being the ringleader of a decades-long racketeering and sex trafficking scheme that preyed on women and children.
