I was in the courtroom as the jury foreman read the verdict.

R. Kelly, dressed in a blue suit and blue tie, did not move or look at anyone.

His attorney Deveraux Cannick called the verdict disappointing and said the team would consider an appeal. https://t.co/HV4TkOgO3K

The charges date back decades and stem from six complaining witnesses, including the late singer Aaliyah, called Jane Doe No. 1 by prosecutors.

Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, didn't take the stand during his trial.
