R. Kelly Finally Headed To Court
Filed under: Courtroom , R. Kelly , Sex Tape , Trial Watch
R. Kelly's child pornography case is finally set to go to court after a six-year delay.
The news that jury selection would begin today came after yet another attempt from R. Kelly's legal team to delay the trial. The presiding judge ruled that the jury selection would begin after just a short recess.
The Chicago Times also put R. Kelly in headlines today after reporting that one of the singer's aides allegedly paid off an Atlanta woman for the safe return of a sex tape featuring R. Kelly that is separate from the tape of the court case. It is unknown if R. Kelly was personally involved with the deal.
As far as the current case goes, the 23-year-old woman allegedly in the tape is expected to testify that she is not the 13-year-old in the video.
This photo leads me to believe that they are going to use the difference in boob size to demonstrate the mistaken identity. Because obviously a 13-year-old's body wouldn't look much different after 10 years.
(Please accept my sarcastic non-humor as a way of holding back and not completely tearing apart this innocent-until-proven-guilty skeezbucket who I whole-heartedly believe needs to be off our streets and rotting in jail.)
R. faces up to 15 years in prison if he is convicted of the charges.

He is a scumbag and he should have been in jail a long time ago. When are we going to start properly punishing pedophiles? Obviously our society grants too much power to men and does not properly value the lives and well being of young women.
