<p>Kelly was also found guilty on three of five counts of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity.</p>

<p>Kelly&#8217;s attorney Jennifer Bonjean told jurors in her closing arguments that government witnesses, &#8220;came in here to tell the government&#8217;s version of the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The disgraced singer was once known for his hits such as &#8220;I Believe I Can Fly&#8221; and other songs like &#8220;Bump n&#8217; Grind.&#8221;</p>
<p>Even as as allegations of sexual misconduct against the singer began surfacing in the 1990s, he still sold millions of albums. But public support for the singer began to shift following the release of a 2019 Lifetime docuseries, titled &#8220;Surviving R. Kelly,” and after the #MeToo movement.</p>
<p>The singer&#8217;s legal troubles are not yet over. He still faces two further trials, one in Minnesota and another in state court in Chicago, the AP noted.</p>
