Kelly, 55, is set to be sentenced on June 29. Prosecutors allege Kelly was operating what amounted to a criminal enterprise because his entourage of managers and aides would help him meet girls and keep them obedient.
Kelly used his "fame, money and popularity" to systematically "prey upon children and young women for his own sexual gratification," prosecutors wrote in a filing.
