R. Kelly Charged With 10 Counts of Sexual Abuse in Chicago

There have been many allegations made towards R.Kelly relating to sexual misconduct over the past two years. According to attorney, Kim Foxx, “The authorities accused him of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving four victims, three of whom were underage”. The average sentence for aggravated criminal sexual abuse ranges from three to seven years for each charge. With Kelly facing 10 charges, he could be doing a lot of time in the near future. Recently, the allegations on R.Kelly have sparked the “#MeToo” movement. This movement encouraged women to speak out on times they were ever sexually abused in any way. A documentary called “Surviving R.Kelly”, a series including testimonials from women who dated Kelly, also broadcasted in January. Although R.Kelly turned himself into the police, his attorney said “his client denies any wrongdoing”.
