R Kelly sentenced to 20 years for child sexual abuse crimes

Disgraced R&B singer will only have to serve an extra year after completing current New York sentence

A federal judge on Thursday handed the singer R Kelly a 20-year prison sentence for his convictions on child sexual abuse images and enticement of minors for sex charges, but said he would serve nearly all of the sentence simultaneously with a 30-year sentence imposed last year on racketeering charges.

Harry Leinenweber also ordered that Kelly serve one year in prison following his New York sentence.
