Warner Bros. has defended JK Rowling, contradicting a decision to ban Sky News from asking questions about the Harry Potter author at an event at Warner Studios Tour last week.

R Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for using his fame to sexually abuse young fans - after coming face to face with some of his victims as they confronted him in court.

"This case is not about a celebrity who likes to party a lot," assistant US attorney Maria Cruz Melendez told the jury on the first day of R Kelly's federal trial in New York. "This case is about a predator."

R Kelly's trial was the culmination of decades of accusations, pointing to a predator hiding in plain sight.
