That day, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx outlined the Surviving R, Kelly subject’s indictments, which involve four alleged victims, at least three of whom were younger than 17.
The sentencing range for each Class 2 Felony is 3-7 years, and is probationable .
That means if the musician is convicted on all 10 counts, he could possibly face up to 70 years behind bars.
During the press conference, Foxx only referred to the alleged victims by their initials — H.W., R.L., L.C., and J.P. — and said their alleged encounters with Kelly happened between 1998 and 2010.
