A judicial presentation presented by Kelly’s lawyer, Beau B. toasty, and obtained by ABC News, alleges the poor management of the United States Prison Office.
The presentation also alleges that Kelly was rejected by prison officers who accompanied the singer to the installation.
The Prison Office said in a statement to ABC News: “For reasons of privacy, security and security, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any imprisoned individual, including medical and health -related problems. In addition, the prison office does not comment on litigation or pending issues that are subject to legal procedures.”
The singer of “I think I can fly” was also found guilty In 2022, for positions of sexual crimes, including the production of child pornography and attract minors to participate in sexual activities, in their second federal judgment.
A federal judge in Chicago sentenced R. Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, 20 years in prison in 2023 for those convictions.
However, the sentence only added one more year to his prison, since Kelly will serve 19 years simultaneously with his New York prison sentence, according Chicago Wls ABC Station. Then it would be asked to serve a year in the case of Chicago.
A Kelly lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
