R. Kelly verdict: Singer guilty in federal trial in Chicago

For the second consecutive summer, a federal jury has convicted Chicago-born R&B superstar R. Kelly.

The decision comes at the end of a month-long trial featuring roughly 30 witnesses, including four women who said Kelly sexually abused them when they were teenagers in the 1990s. Jurors viewed graphic videos at the heart of the feds' case against Kelly, and they heard that Kelly enlisted others to hunt such videos down when he first faced prosecution in the 2000s.

In the Chicago trial, Kelly faced charges alleging child pornography, obstruction of justice and the enticement of minors into criminal sexual activity. The case involved five accusers, four videos, 13 counts and 24 years of accusations dating back to 1996.
