Kelly, 57, is appealing his September 2021 conviction by a Brooklyn, New York, jury on all nine charges he faced, including racketeering and eight counts of violating the Mann Act, which forbids transporting people across state lines for prostitution. “There was no evidence that anyone went out there saying, ‘May I find out what your age is, are you underage, come back, we want to serve you up to Mr. Kelly.'”
“The jury was entitled to infer that Kelly and his inner circle knew what was going on,” Bensing said. “He used the enterprise to make them feel like they were confined, and that they had no way out.” Other arguments in Kelly’s appeal included that jurors prejudged his guilt, his lawyer was ineffective and the jury was improperly “swamped” by evidence of other alleged bad acts.
