Is R Kelly in jail? The R&B singer has been in custody since his New York conviction.
Attorneys will continue to make their final arguments before a jury decides the fate of R. Kelly and his two former employees Tuesday at the Dirksen Federal Building.It's likely the jury will start deliberating as early as Tuesday afternoon.
Federal prosecutors have the burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the 13-count indictment. Nine of those counts are against Kelly alone for creating child pornography and enticing a minor into criminal sexual activity. This complaint also names Kelly's former manager, Derrel McDavid, and employee, Milton Brown, for allegedly paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to recover child sex tapes.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Pozolo argued Monday, "He took advantage of his position, his fame and her youth. He took advantage for his own pleasure."Pozolo went on to argue that the three - Kelly, his former business manager and former assistant - conspired to conceal evidence and thwart criminal prosecution in Cook County when the video of Jane became public.&B star R Kelly is a sexual predator," Pozolo said.

Closing Arguments Set for R. Kelly Trial on Fixing ChargesClosing arguments are scheduled Monday for R. Kelly and two co-defendants in the R&B singer’s trial on federal charges of trial-fixing, child pornography and enticing minors for sex. Jury deliberations will follow. The defense rested late Friday. Kelly and his ex-business manager Derrell McDavid are charged with fixing Kelly’s 2008 state child pornography trial — at which Kelly was acquitted — by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence. Both also face child pornography charges. A third co-defendant, Kelly associate Milton Brown, is accused of receiving child pornography. The 55-year-old Kelly already was sentenced to 30 years in prison in June after a separate federal trial in New York.
