Court documents have exposed that R. Kelly, the American singer, is now engaged to his long-term girlfriend and alleged victim, Joycelyn Savage.

The R&B artist has received a 30-year prison sentence for sex trafficking charges and is facing additional pending charges.

In a letter addressed to the judge preceding R. Kelly’s sentencing, which was obtained by AllHipHop, Joycelyn Savage has identified herself as Robert Kelly’s fiancée.

In her plea for leniency, Joycelyn asserts that she has been incorrectly portrayed as a victim by the government and emphasizes that R. Kelly is the best thing that has ever happened to her.

Joycelyn expressed, “My relationship with Robert is exceptional. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. We share a very special bond and are deeply in love. I continue to stand by Robert because I love him and will always be here to support him.”

She further stated, “Robert is not the monster that the government has depicted him to be. The Robert I know is very kind, gentle, and sweet. Ultimately, he has always ensured that I am taken care of, as well as any other women he was with.”

Joycelyn’s family spoke out on June 29, the day of R. Kelly’s 30-year prison sentencing, but did not mention her engagement to the singer.

According to CBS 46, attorney Gerald A. Griggs released a statement stating, “Joycelyn Savage’s parents are pleased with the verdict delivered today by Judge Donnelly. They hope it will continue to send a strong message that sexual predators will be penalized for their unlawful actions.”

He added: “It is their ongoing hope to reunite and reconnect with their daughter. They wish for Joycelyn to come back home now. They are relieved that the Court has listened to the voices of the survivors.”
