The R&B singer was accused of filming and participating in an explicit sex video with a 13-year-old girl.
Kelly and the alleged victim, who is now 23, denied they were the people shown in the video.
One woman claimed to have had three-way sex with Kelly and the girl, but the defence discredited her comments, claiming she had tried to extort money from the popular singer.
Experts said the tape was not a fake, but revealed that it had been duplicated numerous times.
The singer's defence also claimed that the man in the video couldn't be Kelly because he didn't have a large mole on his back.
