Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison following his earlier conviction for racketeering, sex trafficking and more. Hollywood’s Sexual Misconduct Scandals Read article The “Ignition” singer, 55, was sentenced in New York on Wednesday, June 29, more than nine months after he was convicted of racketeering, with 14 underlying acts that included sexual exploitation of a child, kidnapping, bribery and sex trafficking. He was also convicted on eight counts of violations of the Mann Act, which is a sex trafficking law that prohibits the transport of “any woman or girl” across state lines for “immoral purpose.” Ahead of the sentencing, several accusers delivered victim impact statements about the ways their lives had been affected by the Grammy winner. Kelly, for his part, declined to make a statement in the courtroom. “These crimes were calculated and carefully planned and regularly executed for almost 25 years,” Judge Ann M. Donnelly said during the sentencing, according to The New York Times. “You taught them that love is enslavement and violence.” Stars Who Have Spoken Out Against R. Kelly Read article Kelly’s trial began in August 2021, with his alleged victims taking the stand as “Jane Does.” The first Jane Doe represented was the late singer Aaliyah, who died in 2001 at age 22. The “Try Again” songstress wed the Illinois native in 1994 when she was 15 and he was 27. During the trial, prosecutors presented copies of their marriage license, which showed that Kelly claimed she was 18 at the time of their wedding. Another witness, who used the name Stephanie, claimed that she met Kelly in 1999 when she was 17. “I remember him asking me my age,” she testified. “When I said I was 17, he said it was fine.” Stephanie alleged that the R&B star, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, sexually assaulted her and recorded them having sex. Celebrity Mugshots Read article Though Wednesday’s sentencing represents the end of one legal battle, Kelly is still facing child pornography and obstruction of justice charges in his hometown of Chicago. That trial is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 1. In August 2019, the Soulacoaster author was charged with two counts of prostitution with a person under 18 by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office in Minnesota. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all allegations against him. Allegations about Kelly’s abuse of young girls began circulating in the 1990s. He was indicted on child pornography charges in June 2002, but a jury …

Every Time the 1st Impression Rose Recipient Won ‘Bachelor,’ 'Bachelorette’ Read article “My short-term and long-term goals haven’t changed from what they were from when I first went on the show,” the Bachelorette season 15 alum said exclusively on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast. “I’d love to get married, be a husband and then eventually be a father. Whether that’s having kids naturally or adopting or surrogates, it’s in my DNA. It’s in my heart that I do wanna be a father. I do wanna be a husband. So I would love [if] that happens sooner rather than later, but I’ve also leaned really heavily into my faith and know that that’s all in God’s time of when that’s supposed to happen and who that’s supposed to happen with.” He continued: “I’m not putting as much pressure on that. And obviously, I haven’t been, like, openly dating since I’ve been so hyper focused on getting myself mentally and physically and emotionally prepared for the surgery, which I just underwent.” Former ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ Leads: Where Are They Now? Read article Ayala was diagnosed with lymphedema at age 11. He underwent 16 leg surgeries — including a total knee replacement in 2021 that wasn’t “done properly” — before his above-the-knee amputation procedure on June 22. “It was scheduled to be about a three to four-hour procedure because the procedure itself is relatively straightforward,” he explained. “They have the orthopedic oncologist who kind of just comes in and makes the cut. And then if you’re lucky, they have a really good plastic or vascular surgeon to come in behind him or her and then basically close up the wound and do any other type of, you know, nerve or venous type of surgery to make sure everything heals as properly as possible.” The former Bachelor in Paradise star’s surgery ended up taking eight hours. “It was a long time to be under and it was a pretty major surgery, not just because of the lifestyle adjustment, but because of the intricacy and the amount of, like, surgical work that the plastic surgeon had to do after the amputation was completed,” he told Us. While the surgery was successful, Ayala’s health journey is far from over as there’s no cure for lymphedema.
