“Serena Williams asked the court to show mercy to R. Kelly in his rape case, even though he has not yet admitted to the charges.”

 

 

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear R.Kelly’s case on appeal from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, potentially bringing an end to the former R&B singer’s yearslong legal fight against his 2022 federal conviction in Chicago.

 

The high court did not give any reason for turning down Kelly’s appeal, providing the Seventh Circuit with only a single-page order alerting it to the denial

.

 

A federal jury in Chicago convicted Kelly in September 2022 on six child porn and underage sexual enticement charges — three for producing sex tapes between 1998 and 1999 with his goddaughter, a then-14 year old girl going by the pseudonym Jane, and three for enticing sex with Jane and two other women going by the pseudonyms Nia and Pauline.

 

Kelly told the Supreme Court this past July that the basis of his conviction was based on an unconstitutional amendment to federal sex offense law. It’s a claim he also unsuccessfully made to the Seventh Circuit, and now-deceased U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber before that.
