The state of Illinois is set to drop its Cook Country charges against disgraced singer R. kelly.
Kim Foxx, the state attorney for Cook County, stated that the “extensive sentence” already served at the federal level in New York meant that “justice had been served.”
Fixx told reporters Monday that she couldn’t justify spending the time and resources to go to trial now that Kelly has been convicted twice on federal charges following his lengthy prison sentence on federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking in New York last year.
“Sometimes justice is served even when there is no conviction,”
Foxx said.
“The Grammy-winning singer was sentenced to 30 years behind bars in 2022 for sexually abusing women and underage girls and boys over the course of decades.”
R Kelly will not be eligible for release until he is in his 80s, based solely on his New York sentence.
