R. Kelly Found Guilty of Child Pornography Charges
--------------------------------------------------

In Chicago, a federal jury has voted to convict R. Kelly on six charges
of coercing minors into sexual activity and of producing sex tapes
involving a minor. Kelly is already serving a 30-year prison sentence
after a jury in Brooklyn convicted him of racketeering and sex
trafficking charges last year. Each of Kelly's convictions in Chicago
will add a minimum of 10 years to his existing sentences. This
conviction comes 14 years after Kelly was infamously acquitted on
similar charges.
