R&B star R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday for charges related to nearly 30 years’ worth of allegations that he physically and sexually abused women and minors.



His 2021 trial was one of the most high-profile cases to spring from the #MeToo movement. It is also one of the most prominent cases in which the victims were mostly Black women.



Prosecutors had asked for a 25-year sentence while Kelly’s defense team had argued for 14 to 17½ years.

I’ll leave it for someone else to say if this is long enough, but other than that, good.

If I had a gif of Lizzo clapping, "it's about damn time," I would insert it here.

So many people in and out of his circle have called for his accountability for decades. I'm glad they will finally get some justice with him going away.

And now we sit and wait for the people who enabled him to be charged and convicted. Without people surrounding him and enabling him, he wouldn't have been able to harm so many victims.
