A jury convicted R. Kelly of six of 13 federal charges he faced Wednesday involving three underage girls referred to in court as “Jane,” “Pauline” and “Nia.” He was acquitted of charges involving “Tracy” and “Brittany.” Here are the details:
Count 1, production of child pornography: Guilty
• This count involved the victim known as Jane and the video from Kelly’s 2008 trial.
Count 2, production of child pornography: Guilty
• This count involved Jane and a video newly obtained by prosecutors.
Count 3, production of child pornography: Guilty
• This count involved Jane and a video newly obtained by prosecutors.
Count 4, production of child pornography: Not guilty
• This count involved Jane and former Kelly girlfriend Lisa Van Allen and a tape prosecutors had not obtained.
Count 5, conspiracy to obstruct justice: Not guilty
• This count involved efforts to thwart Kelly’s 2008 trial, though it hinged largely on the testimony of Van Allen and a man named Charles Freeman, whose testimony included various discrepancies.
Count 6, conspiracy to receive child pornography: Not guilty
• This count involved efforts to hunt down incriminating videos of Kelly amounting to child pornography. It largely hinged on the testimony of the same witnesses as Count 5.

Count 11, enticing a minor into criminal sexual activity: Not guilty
• This count involved the sexual exploitation of a victim known as Tracy, who said she was abused by Kelly at his recording studio and a hotel. Jurors heard discrepancies about Tracy’s age at the time.
