I have despised R. Kelly for a long time and wondered why he was not in prison, as he is known to be a rapist of underage girls, producer of child pornography, and overall disgusting person. I shouldn't have been surprised when I saw this in the news today.... that R. Kelly is being accused of running a child sex abuse cult. WTF.
According to the article:
"The new report claims that the young women fell under Kelly’s sway after being brought to him by their parents in an effort to further their musical careers, but that he then “brainwashed” them.
According to parents and the former associates, Kelly:
keeps several young women at his homes in Atlanta and Chicago;
replaces their cell phones with ones specifically used to communicate with him and forbids them to contact their families;
requires they call him “daddy” and ask permission to leave the studio or their residences;
films their sexual encounters with him;
abuses them physically and verbally" AND SEXUALLY.
Some History on R. Kelly:
from today's article:
"Over the years Kelly has had multiple accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against him, including a 2008 case where he was acquitted on 14 charges of making child pornography; that case centered around a videotape that prosecutors alleged showed Kelly having sex with a 14-year-old girl. DeRogatis, who received the tape from an anonymous source in 2000 and turned it over to police, wrote the article that launched the investigation."
"While Kelly has been the target of multiple accusations of sexual misconduct — in 1994, he married singer/protege Aaliyah when she was 15 years old; the marriage was annulled — the 2008 trial dragged on for six-and-a-half years and was further weakened by the judge’s decision to focus solely on the sex tape and to exclude other claims. The BuzzFeed story says “a dozen or more civil lawsuits” against Kelly were settled out of court with cash payments from Kelly."
Thank God they had the sense to annul that child marriage. He is a pedophile. Also that judge may be covering for others that he was farming those girls out to. Ugh. Disgusting garbage and filth. There should not be any hushed settlements allowed for child abuse cases. They should all be published. Just like when some places publish the names of the Johns in Prostitution cases.
