R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges on Friday 14 June after less than a day of deliberations in his child pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar.

A visibly stunned Kelly, who was charged in 2002 in a case beset by delays, dabbed tears from his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorney’s right after the verdict was read. The Grammy award-winning singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.
