Disgraced singer, R. Kelly has been moved to a prison in North Carolina to commence his sentences for more than 30 years of imprisonment.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has confirmed that Kelly, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was transferred from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago to the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina last Wednesday.

The singer and Chicago native was sentenced in February to an additional year in prison for his Chicago conviction of federal child pornography and child enticement charges, in addition to the 30 years he is already serving for a separate conviction in New York.

In September 2022, a federal jury in Chicago convicted Kelly of six counts of sexually abusing three women, who testified under the pseudonyms Jane, Pauline, and Nia, on video, while acquitting him of enticement charges involving two other accusers, Tracy and Brittany.

The same jury acquitted him of seven other charges, including obstruction of justice, accusing him and two associates of rigging his 2008 child pornography trial in Cook County.

Kelly still faces a solicitation of prostitution charge in Minnesota, although that case has stalled as his federal cases took precedence.

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx last month decided to drop sexual abuse and sexual assault indictments against Kelly, noting he was already facing decades in prison, saying her office’s limited resources would be better spent pursuing other sexual assault cases.

Kelly, 56, could be eligible for release from prison when he’s a little over 79 years old.
