R. Kelly found guilty of child sexual abuse

The disgraced singer stood trial in his home town of Chicago, where a jury came to a guilty verdict after an 11-hour deliberation for three counts of enticing minors for sex and three counts of producing child sexual imagery in his second federal trial. The 55-year-old, previously one of the biggest R&B stars in the world, had faced a total of 13 counts in court but was acquitted on the other charges - including conspiracy to obstruct his 2008 trial, where he was found not guilty of child pornography and child enticement charges.
