R. Kelly On Trial

So, the trial is finally on! After more than ten years after the act happened, R Kelly is on trial! Now, let's look back on the events which led up to this fateful day...

1991 and 1994
Robert Sylvester Kelly (R. Kelly) had more than one sex suit dealing with minors. However these cases were settled and Kelly denied even knowing these women.

1996
R. Kelly married his, now estranged, wife Andrea Lee.

February 2002
Kelly's sex tape released to the Chicago-Sun Times.

June 6,2002
R. Kelly was indicted on 21 counts of having sexual intercourse with a minor.



January 23, 2003
R.Kelly was in trobule again. This time in Polk County, Florida. He was charged with twelve counts of possession of child pornography. Authorities "found" a digital camera with some pictures of a minor female. Three of the photos included Kelly and the girl having sex. The allegations were just that and the charges were dropped after the search was ruled as illegal.

2003
In an article with XXL, Kelly says that Osama Bin Laden is the only one who understands what he is going through. In reference to his trial troubles.

2004
After doing some research, I remember hearing about this story. Detroit Tigers star Gary Sheffield's wife, Deleon Richards supposedly had a tape with Kelly from back in the day.

A dancer sued Kelly because he circulated a tape with her performing some "sexual acts" on him. She said the taping was without her consent and not properly protected.



October 27, 2006
Pre-trial motions took place at a Cook county court. The date of the trial was set for February 7, 2007.

February 7, 2007
R. Kelly was not in court due to a burst appendix. He was in the hospital and would be out later that day??? I just wonder...

February 21, 2007
The make up date.

The trial was then delayed due to some questions on when the tape was actually made and the presiding judge fell and broke some bones so he would still be recovering. The new date...

September 17, 2007
Some time between then and now, the charges were reduced to soliciting a minor for child pornography.

May 9, 2008
The jury selection began.

May 15, 2008
Jury selection ends with twelve jurors. Eight men and four women.

May 20,2008
Kelly goes on trial with 14 counts facing him. (Seven counts of videotaping the act and seven counts of producing child pornography.) The tape was shown on the first day of trial.

The prosecution's case wrapped

June 9, 2008
The defense's case wrapped


Okay so now, some women has "randomly" come forth saying that she had a threesome with R Kelly and the girl. Where has she been for the past ten years? And how about this one. Did you know that the girl and her parents are saying its not even her in the tape! Shouldn't that be enough? And if its not her, then who is it? Hmmmmmmmmm. I've never seen the tape, nor do I want to however, it seems kind of fishy if you ask me.

Well, leave some comments and let's support the man. Oh, that reminds me! I was listening to the radio last week and the morning show did a poll. Would you support R. Kelly if he was judged guilty in the end? I say yes because he was a musical genius before the tape, during, and after. People are always trying to mess with someone's dream and money! The man likes little girls. Put him on the sex offender list and move on. As long as he isn't making any music about little girls. And to all the people that even said they would stop supporting Kelly, then don't let your kids listen to him either!

You'll let the kids listen to Pu$$y Popping but not an R Kelly remix!? He's one of the greatest!
