Federal prosecutors on Wednesday asked a federal judge to sentence R&B superstar R. Kelly to more than 25 years in prison in his racketeering case in New York, writing that he “preyed upon children and young women for his own sexual gratification.”
The feds wrote in a 31-page court memo that Kelly’s “decades of crime appear to have been fueled by narcissism and a belief that his musical talent absolved him of any need to conform his conduct — no matter how predatory, harmful, humiliating or abusive to others — to the strictures of the law.”
