R Kelly convicted of six counts on child abuse image charges in latest criminal trial

R Kelly has been convicted of six out of 13 counts of child sexual abuse in his second federal trial.

The jury convicted the 55-year-old after a four-week court case in his hometown of Chicago, however the disgraced star was acquitted of fixing a state trial on child pornography charges in 2008. The R&B singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was found guilty on Wednesday of three counts of enticing minors for sex and three counts of producing child sexual imagery.

The jury did not find him guilty of obstructing justice related to his 2008 trial, which ended in acquittal. His two former associates and co-defendants - Milton ‘June’ Brown and Derrel McDavid - were also accused of fixing the 2008 trial but were acquitted of all charges.
