R Kelly
R.Kelly, the multiplatinum R&Bsingerconvicted twice this year of sex crimes, will be required topayat least $300,000 in restitution to some of hisvictims, a federal judge said on Wednesday.
The money will compensate two women, known as Jane and Stephanie, for the costs of therapy and herpes treatment, U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly said at a hearing in Brooklyn.
That figure is likely to rise after prosecutors recalculate the cost of medication for Stephanie.
Donnelly denied prosecutors' requests to compensate Jane for lost income, and provide any compensation to a third victim known as Sonja.
Kellyattended the hearing via Zoom from a federal prison in Chicago.
