5:32Now PlayingDisgraced musician R. Kelly and Universal Music Group must pay more than $500,000 in music royalties to his sexual abuse victims, a New York judge ruled.
Judge Ann Donnelly of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York signed an order Wednesday stating that the music corporation must turn over funds satisfying Kelly's debt of $507,234.05.
Universal is in possession of at least $567,444.19 from the singer's music publishing royalties, the court order states.
The money will be sent to Brooklyn federal prosecutors to help cover his victim's restitution and criminal fines.
Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, is serving 30 years in prison after a New York jury convicted him of racketeering and sex trafficking in 2021. As part of his sentencing in the case, Kelly, Universal and Sony Music Entertainment were ordered to pay his half-million dollar debut.
Prosecutors, however, said Wednesday that Sony was no longer responsible because Kelly's royalties with Universal will cover it.
"The outstanding balance fluctuates because it is subject to interest, but as of today is $507,234.05. Universal Music Group is holding at least $567,444.19. Because the funds held by Universal will cover the entire restitution debt, the U.S. Attorney’s Office will withdraw our Writ of Garnishment against Sony," the prosecutor's office said
