A Chicagoland jury found R. Kelly guilty of multiple child pornography charges on Wednesday.
Kelly was convicted on three of four child porn counts and three of five three counts of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity.
After three weeks of testimony, the jury only took ten hours to come back with their verdict.
Two of Kelly’s associates, Derrel McDavid and Milton Brown, were cleared of conspiracy and obstruction charges.
Kelly is already looking at 30 years in prison after being found guilty of racketeering charges in New York.
Federal prosecutors are aiming for Kelly’s Chicago sentence to be consecutive to the New York conviction.
