R. Kelly Wants the Supreme Court to Overturn His Sex Abuse Conviction
R. Kelly has petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn his sex abuse conviction arguing that his charges fall outside of the statute of limitations.

The petition for writ of certiorari states that the conduct for which the singer is convicted — specifically creating child pornography and enticing minors into illegal sexual activity — occurred prior to the law being passed.
