Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx on Monday announced decision to drop s*xual abuse charges against R&B singer R. Kelly.
Mrs Foxx, who made this announcement in a press conference, noted that “justice has been served” with R. Kelly already convicted for two federal charges that would see him serve time for decades.
“We believe that justice has been served,” Mrs Foxx said.
“Mr. Kelly is potentially looking at never walking out of prison again for the crimes he’s committed.”
R. Kelly was first convicted on racketeering and s*x trafficking charges in 2021, and was jailed for 30 years.
In 2022, R. Kelly was also convicted on another s*x related crimes, coercing minors into sexual activity and producing s*x tapes involving a minor.
The singer is scheduled to be sentenced on this by February.
