R. Kelly Child Pornography Shown To Jurors

May 21. 2008

R. Kelly A/K/A Robert Kelly

According to published reports, the jury in the R. Kelly child pornography trial, were shown the sick tape the singer made of himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl. I have not seen the tape that was reportedly online and have no intention of doing so, I hope the jurors that have this week, are so disgusted they find him guilty, so he can be taken off the streets.

R. Kelly going to court

He has a severe problem with targeting underage girls and it has to stop. He could have his pick of many women, yet keeps choosing 12-15 year olds. Something is very wrong with him. It's time to face the music. He should not be on anyone's radio or television. He should not be getting air or video play. He has shocked many with his terrible antics, yet the industry has embraced and celebrated a man that is harming children.

Clearly those around him are reasoning away his criminal conduct as well.  How can this be a good thing. How can anyone in good conscience reward such behavior.  And what about his children? Is no one from the state checking on them. What's been going on in his home? The government needs to investigate, as according to reports, the illegal child pornography was made in his house.

Moreover, with the way kids in schools talk, certainly his children know what's going on. What about their mental health and emotional well being. The state is being very slow in addressing what could be a horrendous problem for his children and many other young girls he's preyed on.

Several years ago Vibe magazine released an article stating they found quite a few of R. Kelly's other underage victims. In the article they told of the long lasting psychological trauma they suffered after having engaged in sex with R. Kelly as pre-teens and teens, ranging in age from 12-15. They said he asked them to engage in various types of sex that mentally and emotionally scarred them for life.

One of the girls stated he enticed them with money and by promising them record deals. One of them stated the late R&B singer, Aailyah, who was 15-years-old when he illegally married her, by presenting a fake ID at the registrar's office, seemed genuinely smitten with him. I think so too.

You could tell in her interviews that she was in love with him, but at age 15 no girl is in the right frame of mind to make sound decisions in the areas of marriage and love, though many often think so when they are that age.

R. Kelly witness: Female in sex tape met singer when she was 12

A woman testified today that the female who appears in a sex video is her best friend from childhood who was 13 or 14 at the time the tape was made — and that the man in the tape is R&B superstar R. Kelly. Simha Jamison, 24, said she met Kelly at a gym called Hoops when she was 12. Her friend, the allegedly underage girl, was about six months younger and already knew Kelly, calling him "Godfather."

Jurors shown R. Kelly alleged child sex tape

CHICAGO (AFP) — Jurors have been shown what US prosecutors called a "vile, disturbing, disgusting" video allegedly showing rhythm and blues superstar R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl. The tape showed a man wearing a white T-shirt and red jogging pants sitting in front of the camera.

A girl walks in and the man presents her with an undisclosed amount of money. "Thank you" she says, and dances nude as the man urges, "Dance faster, baby," to background music from the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls. The couple also engage in various sex acts. Robert Kelly, 41, who has denied 14 charges of child pornography, watched the video with a studied stare on a small monitor at the defense table, conferring often with one of his attorneys.

Lead prosecutor Shauna Boliker alleged that Kelly was a "pornographer" and said he was the man in the video, having sex with a child. "A child doesn't choose to be violated and placed on a videotape, a videotape that will live on forever, long after this child becomes an adult," she said. "The case is laid out for you frame by ugly frame, frame by disgusting frame. You don't have to put the pieces together because he already has done that for you," she said.
