Kelly to help appeal his racketeering conviction in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Bonjean, a New York-based lawyer, has filed her appearance in<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2021\/09\/27\/r-kelly-found-guilty-of-sex-trafficking\/\"> R. Kelly\u2019s case<\/a><\/strong> in the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn \u2014 where the musician was convicted on sex abuse and racketeering charges last month, according to the Chicago Tribune.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bonjean told the outlet that she plans to lead Kelly\u2019s appeal and post-conviction motions, which are due on Monday (Nov. 1). However, she has requested a two-month extension.<\/p>\n<p>Bonjean spearheaded Cosby\u2019s appeal of his sex crimes conviction in Pennsylvania and helped get the actor released from prison.<\/p>\n<p>The attorney told the Chicago Tribune that she is \u201clooking forward to getting familiar with the record\u201d in the Chicago native\u2019s case, which was driven by Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am becoming increasingly concerned with how the government is abusing the RICO statute in order to plead around the statute of limitations and essentially put people\u2019s entire lives on trial,\u201d Bonjean said. \u201cIt\u2019s becoming a formula for the government. You have a right to defend yourself against specific allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Kelly was convicted of one count of racketeering, with 14 underlying acts that included sexual exploitation of a child, bribery, kidnapping and sex trafficking charges. He was also convicted of eight counts of violations of the Mann Act, a sex trafficking law that makes it illegal to move anyone across state lines \u201cfor any immoral purpose.\u201d Kelly\u2019s sentencing is set for May 4, 2022, where he potentially faces 10 years to life in prison.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kelly\u2019s legal woes are far from over. Last week, a Chicago judge set the date for the child pornography trial that he is facing in his home state. The 12 Play vocalist is being accused of recording his sexual encounters with multiple underage girls and bribing possible witnesses with cash and gifts to remain silent about his crimes. He is set to stand trial for those federal sex charges next August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Cosby\u2019s high-profile attorney, Jennifer Bonjean has been hired by\u00a0 R.
