American singer R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexual abuse of children and women.

Last September, a New York jury convicted the 55-year-old R&B artist of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Lawyers for the singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, say he will appeal.

Survivors said on Wednesday he had insulted and humiliated them.
