R. Kelly FINALLY Faces The Music

We’ve been hearing about rapper R. Kelly’s alleged sexual misconduct for a while now, but up until now, it was all talk.

It seems that he’s FINALLY facing the music… and we’ll put this to rest once and for all.

According to Fox News:

R&B star R. Kelly has been slapped with multiple sexual abuse charges in a Chicago court Friday, according to multiple reports citing court records.

The Chicago Sun-Times and TMZ reported that Kelly, whose full name is Robert Kelly, was charged in Cook County Friday morning with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Kelly has denied allegations of sexual misconduct involving women and underage girls for decades. Neither Kelly’s legal representative nor the Cook County prosecutor’s office immediately responded to Fox News’ request for comment on the charges.

For DECADES, folks.

How the HELL has this been allowed to continue?

I mean… I don’t know. MAYBE he’s innocent. But if these allegations have been around for DECADES, how have they never been addressed?!

The ONE thing that’s ever been brought to court is a CHILD PORNOGRAPHY charge… which he was acquitted on.

Kelly, whose legal name is Robert Kelly, is one of the top-selling recording artists of all time. He has won multiple Grammys, including for his hit-song, “I Believe I Can Fly.”

Jurors acquitted Kelly of child pornography charges at a 2008 trial. Those charges stemmed from a video that prosecutors alleged showed Kelly having sex with a girl as young as 13.

Attorney Michael Avenatti says he has evidence R. Kelly and his “enablers” paid witnesses and others to “rig” the outcome of the R&B star’s 2008 trial, when he was acquitted on child pornography charges.

So why now?

Allegations against the “Ignition” singer have increasingly made headlines following the airing of the Lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” which features interviews from some of his alleged accusers, many of which were underage at the time of the alleged encounters.

Kelly has been accused of holding women and girls against their will in Chicago, where he has a recording studio, and Georgia, where he has property.

The docuseries also claimed that he preyed on and had sexual relations with underage girls who he kept in an alleged “sex cult.” He has denied all allegations.

He was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 after he was accused of making a sex tape with a 14-year-old girl.

This is going to be really, REALLY messy.
