R Kelly’s lawyer Jennifer Bonjean said the defendant; the United States breached its duty of care by allowing countless Bureau Of Prisons officers access Kelly’s confidential information without any legal basis to do so.
The leaks Bonjean said left Kelly isolated and fearful to communicate with his attorneys or other third parties; knowing it could be released to the general public for mass exploitation.
In September 2022, R Kelly was convicted in Chicago on separate Federal charges bordering on child pornography and enticement of minors for sex and he was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
