R. Kelly Receives Another 20-Year Prison Term for Sexual Charges (Digital Music News)

R. Kelly was sentenced on Thursday to 20 years in prison for sex crimes but will serve most of that time simultaneously.

Prosecutors acknowledged that a long term served after the New York sentence could have negated any chance of Kelly getting out of prison alive, and in fact, is what they asked for — attorneys argued that his crimes against minors and lack of remorse justified a more severe sentence. Still, Thursday’s sentence means that Kelly will serve no more than 31 years, eligible for release around age 80. However, Kelly will serve all but one of those years simultaneously; serving the Chicago sentence only after completing the 30-year New York term would have been akin to a life sentence.
