The justification presented for convicting the R&B singer is being contested by his lawyer, who argues that innocent groups can be considered as criminal gangs inadvertently under these circumstances.
In the ongoing legal battle, R. Kelly federal appeal claims her innocence in the court proceedings. Recently, on Monday (March 18), his lawyer, Jennifer Bonjen began a criticism against the legal structure implemented in demanding justice for his alleged crimes. Bongen argued that the use of the prosecution’s request laws was extended to an inappropriate length, which was on the indifference. He said that many elements of the case were misunderstood as criminal gang activity, possibly a disturbed example for future matters related to Rico laws was established.
During a hearing at the Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit, Bonzen stressed that Kelly’s employees were only performing their duties and were not involved in any criminal activities mentioned by Rico as co-scripts.
In addition, Jennifer Bongen argues that R. The use of prosecutors of Rico laws to convict Kelly was “preceding” and tries to reverse this punishment and legal structure. She says that the government has spread the Rico law beyond its original intention, which was to target organized crime. According to Bongen, Kelly’s case involves allegations of personal criminal behavior rather than organized crime in implementing Rico laws.
In 2021, R. Kelly was convicted on nine Rico allegations, which stems from their organized and long -standing plan allegations to exploit women, including both adults and minors. As a result, he was sentenced to 30 years in jail in 2022.

During Monday’s hearing, Jennifer Bongen said that R. Kelly employees were unaware of any criminal activities. Without adequate evidence from the government, he said that the Rico law and conviction should not be implemented in this matter. However, the assistant American Attorney Kayla Crew Bensing offered a counter -counterplace, stating that insulted R&B Star had a system to woo young persons in their circle and control their lives.
Bensing, citing evidence, said that Kelly’s team members knew about their works, including testimony that an employee contacted a 16 -year -old man in McDonald’s, provided her contact information, and Encouraged him to reach out. Additionally, another employee claimed that the calls for Kelly’s “girlfriends” have been managed, some of which were described as teenagers.
“These examples suggest that Kelly’s internal circle was aware of their activities, including the recruitment and exploitation of young women for sexual purposes,” Baining argued. In particular, Bongen had earlier sentenced in 2021 on a similar basis for Bill Cosby.
After hearing characterized by legal complications, the court will discuss this appeal in the coming months. Rico targets organizations involved in criminal activities, whether they are valid or not, ”Judge Denny Chin commented. “Stay on HNHH, for more news and updates on R. Kelly.”
