Judge Ann M. Donnelly handed down Kelly’s sentence on Wednesday, saying 'the public has to be protected from behaviors like this.'

The R&B star Kelly was convicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges last September following a nearly six-week trial that amplified accusations that had dogged the singer of the Grammy-winning hit 'I Believe I Can Fly' since the early 2000s.

Judge Ann M. Donnelly handed down Kelly's sentence on Wednesday, despite the defense lawyers' request for a sentence of 10 years or less. Prosecutors had asked for at least 25 years.

Kelly learned his fate after his accusers told the court, through tears and anger, that he had preyed on them and misled his fans.

Earlier on Wednesday, several women who testified against Kelly during the trial spoke about how he had promised to mentor them and help them attain stardom, only to subject them to degrading sexual treatment and physical harm.

Many said the abuse led to mental health problems that persist.

Too bad for him

R Kelly faces several of his accusers during his sentencing hearing for federal sex trafficking at the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Seven of them delivered impact statements before he was sentenced.

One of the victims, Angela, stood in court, looked directly at Kelly and called him a 'Pied Piper' who 'lured children with his money and celebrity.'

'With every addition of a new victim, you grew in wickedness,' she said. 'You used your fame and power to groom and coach underage boys and girls for your own sexual gratification.'

'Today we reclaim our names,' she said. 'We are no longer the preyed-upon individuals we once were.'

'I pray that god reaches your soul,' she said, as Kelly glanced up at her briefly before lowering his eyes back to the table where he sat.

The second victim to speak in court on Wednesday said she never knew that a concert in September of 1994 would change her life forever.

Addie, who previously testified at Kelly's trial but never gave her name, took several breaths before reading her statement Wednesday.

Jones claims that in March of that year Kelly brought another of his girlfriend's over to where he was keeping her and forced her to perform MouthAction on Jones.

Around that time she claims Kelly also started forcing her to have intercourse with other women - and says he would threaten her if she said no

At Kelly's sentencing on Wednesday, one of the women featured in the docuseries, Lizette Martinez, spoke to the court with attorney Gloria Allred by her side.

'January 1995 eventually changed me forever,' Martinez said, referring to the day she met Kelly at a mall.

Martinez, 17, was an aspiring singer and Kelly had promised to mentor her. But Martinez says he started abusing her two months after they met.
