After 25 years of serial sexual abuse and assault of underage girls, the day of reckoning for R Kelly has arrived.

I didn't realise creepy porn lawyer was involved in all this....how strange

Beat me to this exact comment...

Yeah, I agree he is creepy. Also all of a sudden after all that has been written they are jumping on him. Also here comes Alred with her Victims. Now mind you I do believe the Victims were horribly abused by him. We know he is a perverted sicko. BUT, I believe they are scared all of us are getting too close to unwrapping the real truth here. The moguls that are also involved. So it's better to cut to the chase and sacrifice R. Kelly just like they did Weinstein.
madhatter67 ago
Sounds a plausible explanation....certainly likely more to it all than there appears....and yes we always knew Kelly is dirty

He's sitting in jail last I heard with 1M dollar bail. That means he has to come up with 100K to get out. His finances are a mess his lawyer says. Someone that made that much money and he can't scrape up that much. He is where he belongs. As long as he is off the streets Girls and Women are Safe. Thank God.

Thank You. Let's hope this is for real, but I have reservations.
shewhomustbeobeyed ago
You're welcome. Probably he's outlived his usefulness, he has depreciated in value. we shall see.

Maybe.
Someone in the background might have been blackmailing him this whole time, and perhaps he didn't have enough money to pay up since his music career has gone flat.
carmencita ago
Agree. Possibly they are sacrificing him like Weinstein.
shewhomustbeobeyed ago
Yup.

With US Just Us system, those who can make money for the entertainment and music industries stay out on bail forever it seems and then get very short sentences...i.e. Bill Cosby..Jeffrey Epstein........as opposed to a homeless person stealing a loaf of bread, under bill clinton's 3 strikes and you are out.....life sentence.

Very true

See the UPDATE in my Post

Oh My God I so agree! I am just afraid with that probation word included it is a dog and pony show. Good Grief.
3141592653 ago
Yup.
carmencita ago
This is so like the Cosby case. And now he is out on the streets again. Those parents must be frightened not to mention their girls.
3141592653 ago
Agreed
carmencita ago
I can’t even imagine what those parents are going through. Let’s hope this sticks this time.
