R.Kelly will be in his 80s when/if he gets out of prison, but there are still concerns that the old man will remain a threat – especially to minors – so he will have to live under a host of strict conditions and advice.
when judge Ann M. Donnelly handed down Kelly’s 30-year sentence for federal sex crimesShe also ordered mental health treatment for the singer upon his release. Doctors say his treatment will include therapy for an unspecified sexual disorder, and he should avoid contact with anyone under the age of 18.
It seems like a no-brainer, given how the disgraced R&B hitmaker ended up in jail – but there are even more criteria.

Feds recommend R. Kelly be sentenced to more than 25 years in prison for sex crimes
As we reported … prosecutors said Kelly was particularly threatening to society because he continued his criminal behavior for years after being tried in Chicago for sex crimes. It seems to have struck a chord with the judge, who ordered Kelly to inform anyone choosing to live with him that he is a sex offender.
The only way he’ll be allowed to be around someone under the age of 18 is if it’s a family member, or if it’s in a therapeutic setting with a “responsible adult” present – ditto for associating with convicted sex offenders. And, all of the above scenarios should first be approved by his probation officer.
He’s going to know this PO very well – Kelly will be on probation for 5 years once he’s out…and it’s just for that sentence.
Kelly has yet another federal trial and 2 state trials to face, and if he’s convicted again… he’ll likely face even more restrictions.
