of how you degraded me.”
The victim recalled an incident when she was forced to perform oral sex on the music star “after you played basketball, in a car full of your friends.”
“Do you remember that?!” she scolded Kelly, wearing olive colored prison scrubs over a long-sleeve white shirt and a black mask.
“You couldn’t care less. I avoided your name and your songs and suffocated with fear. What you did left a permanent stain on my life.”
Kelly, 55, was convicted in September of racketeering and violating the Mann Act, the law that bans transporting people across state lines “for any immoral purpose.”
The sentence was more than the 25 years federal prosecutors had sought in a letter to Donnelly earlier this month.
“The public has to be protected from behaviors like this,” Donnelly told the court as she delivered the sentence. “These crimes were calculated and carefully planned and regularly executed for almost 25 years,” she continued. “You taught them that love is enslavement and violence.”
