A US judge on Thursday handed disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly a 20-year prison term for child pornography and other charges — but he will serve most of it simultaneously with a previous sentence.
Kelly, 56, is already serving a 30-year sentence he received after a Brooklyn jury in a separate federal trial convicted him on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
The judge in Chicago — Kelly’s hometown, where he was once seen as a source of pride — ruled that most of the new sentence would be served concurrently with the previous one, with all but one year taken at the same time.
That Kelly will spend a maximum of 31 years in prison is a win for the defense, which urged in its sentencing memorandum that “a concurrent sentence is what fairness demands,” accusing the prosecution of engaging in a “quest to ensure that Kelly never sees the light of day.”

Over the last several years many wealthy, well known people have been called out for dealing in porn and have been jailed, lost their spouses or family or killed themselves. Pornography is a sexual addiction. These individuals have lost their way and are potentially dangerous. I was astounded that Tangled allows pornography on the site. My neighbors and friends will find out and ask me about it. I dread that day and what they will think about my family.
