evidence: Former R&B singer R Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, continues to serve a 30-year sentence in a federal facility. Kelly’s sentence stems from a September 2021 sex trafficking conviction in New York, per CNN. According to BBC, a Brooklyn jury had found him guilty of eight counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering. Reuters reported that his sex trafficking crimes violated the Mann Act. The act prohibits transporting people across state lines for prostitution. [...] According to the federal prison records and CNN, R Kelly is now incarcerated in North Carolina’s FCI Butner Medium I. His transfer to the "medium security federal correctional institution" occurred in April 2023, following the second conviction. According to the outlet, the same federal facility once housed Bernie Madoff, who masterminded the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. The records show that Kelly’s possible release date is December 21, 2045. [...] According to AP News, R Kelly’s lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, stated they will "pursue all of his appellate remedies until we free R Kelly." Bonjean’s statement claimed they now intend to reach the U.S. Supreme Court and request a review. She also expressed her disappointment in the federal appeals court’s ruling, adding, "Our fight is far from over." Moreover, Kelly has appealed his 2021 New York conviction.
