(Chicago, Illinois) - A federal judge handed the singer R. Kelly a 20-year prison sentence for his convictions on child sexual abuse images and enticement of minors for sex charges, but said he would serve nearly all of the sentence simultaneously with a 30-year sentence imposed last year on racketeering charges. With Thursday's sentence, he will serve no more than 31 years and will be eligible for release at around age 80.
