In September, a jury in New York convicted the R&B artist, 55, of racketeering and sex trafficking crimes.

The Chicago native whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly; was also fined $100,000 (£82,525). He currently faces separate criminal charges in three other cases.

The sentence, she said, would act as a deterrent from committing similar crimes in the future. Jurors at Kelly six-week trial in Brooklyn heard how he trafficked women between different US states, assisted by managers, security guards and other members of his entourage.

The court also heard how Kelly had illegally obtained paperwork to marry singer Aaliyah when she was 15 in 1994, seven years before the singer died in a plane crash.

The certificate, leaked at the time, listed Aaliyah’s age as 18. The marriage was annulled months later.

Federal prosecutors had recommended that Kelly be sentenced to more than 25 years in prison, given the seriousness of his crimes and & the need to protect the public from further crimes.

But his lawyers called for a sentence of 10 years, the mandatory minimum for his conviction or less. They portrayed Kelly as growing up poor in a household rife with domestic violence and suffering sexual abuse from a young age.

    Antigua do not respect children and women rights .
    The age of consent is only 16.
    16 is still a child if anyone needs to be reminded but grown men in this society enjoy the sick benefits of such a low age.

  4. Bye,Bye,R Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell.They are both off to long terms sentencing in Federal Prisons.

  5. Don’t forget it was the scum Papa Bird who lowered the age to 16 when he was doing Squeeze. Not one person say a thing and to this day it’s still 16. Let’s see what happens now.

    And now he’s a national hero. Antigua should be ashamed.

  6. I do not know anything about him doing Squeeze. I do know that he got a girl from Grays Farm,pregnant.She was in the same class as my younger sister at Greenbay Primary School at the time.

    • They called her Squeeze, the J’overt Queen. I am not surprised there are more underaged girls out there that VC National Hero Bird raped.

      They need to remove that bust from down by market.
