The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly in Brooklyn federal court.

Kelly, 55, was convicted last September following a nearly six-week trial. He is among the most prominent people convicted of sexual misbehavior during the #MeToo movement against such conduct by prominent men.
