R Kelly Woes Worsen As He Is Indicted On Federal Charges In Child Sexual Assault Case

R Kelly

This is a follow up to the Judiciary Report articles “R Kelly Made AN Illegal Aaliyah Sex Tape” (April 6, 2011) and “R Kelly Victim Breaks Confidentiality Agreement To Talk About His Pedophilic Behavior When He Raped Her As A 15-Year-Old Virgin (Video)” (August 29, 2017) and “Prosecutors Asking Victims Of Sexual Predator And Domestic Violence Abuser R Kelly To Come Forward” (January 9, 2019).

In the aforementioned articles I stated R Kelly had not only been breaking U.S. state law, but federal law as well, in transporting minors across state lines for immoral purposes. Today the federal government moved in on the disgraced 52-year-old singer and pedophile, R Kelly, for transporting minors across state lines for immoral purposes.

The federal government arrested R. Kelly today on new charges in a 13 count indictment, stemming from his sexual abuse of underage girls. The charges include violations of the Mann Act (transporting minors across state lines for illegal purposes), racketeering and child porn. Kelly was taken into custody while he walked his dog in Chicago, Illinois.

Federal charges are much worse than the previously state charges Kelly faces in his home state of Illinois for sexual abuse against underage girls. Federal sentencing guidelines and prisons are much tougher. Federal charges are also more expensive to defend, which cash strapped Kelly will have difficulty handling.
