Kelly is a "disgusting" child abuser who taught his victims that love was "enslavement and violence," said a federal judge in Brooklyn who sentenced him to 30 years in prison Wednesday for running a decades-long sex trafficking ring that included child victims.

Cosby Among Celebs Denied Prison Release For Coronavirus, Others More Fortunate
COVID-19 concerns may have freed some lesser-known convicts but not Bill Cosby, Bernie Madoff or R. Kelly. Lawyers for Cosby appeared to have some help earlier this month when Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf allowed a temporary reprieve for an estimated 1,500 to 1,800 vulnerable and nonviolent prisoners at or close to their release dates. The only trouble was: Sex offenders in the Keystone State aren’t eligible for reprieves, a corrections spokesperson said.
