In Zahlen
R&B singer R. Kelly has submitted a formal petition for clemency to the U.S. Department of Justice to get his 31-year federal prison sentence reduced. According to court records, the singer's lawyer has been making efforts for over a year to obtain a pardon or sentence reduction from the Donald Trump administration. Kelly's petition, which requests only a sentence reduction rather than a full pardon, is currently under review.
In 2021, Kelly was convicted of forming a racketeering enterprise for charges including hiring underage girls for illegal sexual activity and producing child abuse material, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. A year later, he was sentenced to an additional 20 years in prison in a separate case for charges of child sexual abuse images and enticement of minors. As a result of these two sentences running concurrently, his total prison sentence reached 31 years.
The artist, who is currently 59 years old, is serving his sentence in a federal prison in North Carolina and is not expected to be released until January 2046. His lawyer, Beau Brindley, previously requested an emergency release, claiming that prison officials had plotted with a terminally ill inmate to kill Kelly, but this request was rejected by the court. Kelly, on the other hand, consistently denies all the charges brought against him.
