R. Kelly's 30-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and racketeering has been upheld by a federal appeals court in New York. On Wednesday, the court ruled that the arguments in Kelly's appeal "are without merit."
The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the Grammy-winning R&B artist's conviction and sentence from his 2021 trial, where he was found guilty of multiple charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, The Associated Press reported.
