R. Kelly is known for hits like "I Believe I Can Fly," but he's more notoriously known for sexually abusing young women and luring them into his home to live with him. The 56-year-old is already serving a 30-year prison term for sex trafficking charges, of which he was convicted in 2021 in a New York federal court. His sexual abuse of minors goes back many years and he is even caught on video sexually assaulting and urinating on a teenage girl, who testified in court and explained in detail how Kelly groomed her from a young age. 20 more years in prison has been added on to his sentence for child pornography.
