R. Kelly pays $300,000 in compensation to two victims
R. Kelly will have no choice but to pay a large amount of money to the two victims. According to Rolling Stone, the singer has been ordered to pay more than $309,000 in restitution to two victims who testified against him in federal court in Brooklyn. “Jane Doe #6” has stood firm during testing and will receive $300,000 from the singer to cover the cost of herpes therapy and treatment. She accused Pied Piper of intentionally giving her herpes in her testimony.
“Stephanie,” another victim who testified at the Brooklyn trial, will receive about $8,000. However, the amount is likely to increase, the Justice Department said in a statement to Rolling Stone. This money is for her herpes treatment and psychological treatment. It is unclear how or when R. Kelly will be able to pay.
If you recall, prosecutors claimed R.Kelly was broken. Reports said he had access to $5 million, with about $28,000 seized from the prisoner’s account. His defense lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean said the money was generated from small donations from fans. Attorney Bonjean told U.S. District Judge Ann Connelly that the Chicago native did not have access to any other funds due to rulings in civil cases against him.
In addition, she also asserts that her clients are always ignorant of her finances. “He’s not the best source of that information,” she said. Although restitution is final, staunch R. Kelly supporters argue it’s not fair. One person commented, “They absolutely do too much, the man is not going to get out as soon as he can. Another commented: “THEHas he gone to jail? He then spent all his damn money on lawyers! “
Roommate, do you think R.Kelly will ever pay compensation?
