A lot of men see themselves or someone close to them in R. Kelly and that explains the almost unwavering defense of his actions.

This seems to be the go-to comeback for anyone who isn't willing to emphatically wave the "lock him up!" picket sign and protest.

A lot of people aren't so much into "defending" Robert, but an awareness of a greater narrative that this will be used as canon for....it's gonna turn into a "Black men need to....." thing. Or it's gonna twist into the "Black Men are the White people of Black people..." spin. The White-owned "Black" media outlets are definitely gonna go that route with it.

It's not gonna stop at this ground level "we caught a predator" story. People's anti-pedophilia passion is being played on and used as canon to a greater narrative.

Just like how Jussie's deal somehow turned into a deal against straight black men before that case took its turn (now it's well what about corruption in the Chicago PD).

So if they was underage and living with him, why didn't their parents have the police remove them from Kellz house? You kicking dumb shyt like it's profound.

In Chicago he had cops paid off. And later on he was messing with women just over 18 so there was no legal course of action for the families.

Is the criminal justice system so broken to you that NO black man should be locked up ever?

it’s kind of semantic so I won’t make it too much of a back and forth thing...he would have to prove he was deceived by the girl re: her age...fake ID etc...him or anyone else merely claiming he/they “didn’t know” is not a suitable defense...in the post I quoted they are trying to put the onus on whoever brought the girl into the room...that is not enough...claiming to be ignorant of her age bcuz he simply didn’t ask/trusted his handler to ID her is not gonna fly in court...“oh I didn’t know she was 14 when my mans brought her in” is different from “she showed me an ID stating she was 21”...being ignorant of her age is not a defense
Exactly

This way a killer could say "my mans said that that was a child molester.. so I had to kill him!" but without 0 proof or witnesses confirming this, it won't stand.

One big question here is: if in fact it is Kellz in the video that triggered the charges and it is true that he referred to the girl's private parts as underaged and the girl also referred to it as that - his lawyer will go for "no that was just role play, she was in fact over 18". I wonder how - assuming the girl in the video refuses to take the stand, like the last girl refused to take the stand - how any prosecutor could get a conviction.

Lastly, it's unclear how this evidence was obtained (if illegally, and if it violated R. Kelly's rights it won't make it to trial) and if double jeopardy isn't at play here.

So.. yes there are charges but will there even be a trial?
