R. Kelly Found Guilty on All Counts in Sex Trafficking Trial
------------------------------------------------------------

Jurors in the federal trial against accused sexual predator and
trafficker R. Kelly, a famed R&B singer, found him guilty Monday of
charges including racketeering based on sexual exploitation of children,
kidnapping, forced labor and sex trafficking. Nearly a dozen survivors
and over 30 other witnesses detailed R. Kelly's pattern of sexual and
other abuse against dozens of women and underage girls for nearly two
decades. It's a landmark verdict for the #Me Too movement.
