"Surviving R. Kelly" executive producer says guilty verdict is a "step in the right direction"

Dream Hampton's documentary "Surviving R. Kelly" is credited with helping lead to the criminal charges against the singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly.

Hampton told "CBS Mornings" Tuesday that she thought of many people when she heard that the 54-year-old was found guilty on all nine counts against him — including the several women who came forward with their detailed allegations of abuse. 

"I think about the damage that he's done in the last three decades and how long it's going to take these victims.  I mean, we had a dozen victims. A dozen victims testified in court but I talked to dozens of victims when we were preparing to make "Surviving R. Kelly," Hampton said. "Many of whom had tried to move on with their lives."
