R. Kelly has been ordered to pay over $300,000 to one of his victims, to cover the cost of medical treatment and psychotherapy for abuse inflicted on her.
The victim, who remains anonymous, has accused Kelly of giving her a sexually transmitted disease during one of their encounters.
Kelly is already in prison, serving 30 years for racketeering, relating to bribery and forced labor. Earlier this month he was convicted of six out of 13 counts in a trial related to images of child abuse and enticing minors for sex.
He was found to have created an elaborate scheme to sexually exploit aspiring young singers and children.
Based on his earlier convictions Kelly will not be eligible for release until he is about 80. These new convictions could add years to his existing sentence. Two further trials are also pending, one in Minnesota and another in Chicago.
