R&B singer R. Kelly's 20-year prison sentence for child sex convictions in Chicago was upheld by a federal appeals court. Kelly was convicted on charges of producing child pornography and enticing minors for sex. The court rejected his arguments regarding statute of limitations and separate trials for charges. Kelly's attorney plans to seek U.S. Supreme Court review. Prosecutors originally sought a 25-year sentence. The ruling mandates Kelly serve his Chicago and New York sentences concurrently. Kelly is also appealing his New York sentence, claiming improper use of a racketeering statute.
