R. Kelly seeks 10 years in prison, the minimum, as sentencing looms in sex case

R. Kelly appears for a hearing at Leighton Criminal Court Building in Chicago, Illinois, US, on June 26, 2019.NEW YORK — R. Kelly deserves no more than 10 years in prison despite his conviction for scheming over decades to recruit women and girls for sex, reflecting how history as an abused child may have led to his adult "hypersexuality," the R&B singer's lawyer said.

"The lion's share of the conduct alleged [against] the defendant is decades-old, demonstrating that defendant is not currently a risk to the public," Kelly's lawyer Jennifer Bonjean wrote.Prosecutors have said Kelly should spend more than 25 years behind bars, reflecting his continued danger to the public and lack of remorse for exploiting his fame to lure victims into his orbit, where he could satisfy his predatory and sexual desires.
