R. Kelly timeline: Shining star to convicted sex trafficker
Fox News
R. Kelly will be sentenced Wednesday in a New York court after he was found guilty last September of sex trafficking and violating the Mann Act.
Haley Chi-Sing is a Fox News Digital production assistant. You can reach her at @haleychising on Twitter.
Kelly also awaits another trial in Chicago for child pornography and obstruction of justice charges.
Kelly was initially discovered in 1990 by Jive Records music executive Wayne Williams while he was performing at a barbecue. He made his first debut, "Born Into The ’90s" with Public Announcement two years later in January 1992. The album was released a year later, and it soon went platinum.
