NEW SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST R. KELLY
The former pop star was just sentenced to 30 years in prison in June – now he is threatened with more decades behind bars!
Sex offender R. Kelly (55) has had to answer further severe allegations in a Chicago court since Wednesday (August 17). It's about pedophilia and child pornography. The burden of proof is overwhelming - and disgusting...
"The defendant Robert Kelly had sex with several children. In addition, according to CNN, he videotaped himself having sex with young children," prosecutor Jason Julien reportedly said in his opening statement on Wednesday.
A suspected victim of Kelly should also testify: prosecutor Julien announced a woman who was seen in a video by Kelly 20 years ago.
The film, which has become world-famous, can hardly be surpassed in abominations: Kelly is said to have sexually abused the then 14-year-old and urinated on her.
Video will play a central role in the process because Kelly had been acquitted in a previous trial on the case in 2008.
The public prosecutor's office now accuses him of putting pressure on the victim at the time so that she would not testify in the process.
In total, Kelly is accused of 13 counts: among other things, because of the production of child pornography in several cases, the incitement of minors to sexual acts, and the obstruction of justice.
Two of his former employees have also been charged.
Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison in June. A court in New York showed the singer similar acts of horror.
Kelly is said to have played "the management of a criminal organization that recruited women and children for sex." That means he built a network of violence, blackmail, and fear for his sexual gratification.
Rumors of assaults on women, many minors at the time, had been around since the 1990s. The music superstar ("I Believe I Can Fly") was first charged with child pornography in 2002 but was acquitted in Chicago in 2008.

Only the MeToo movement boiled up the alarming allegations again. After the gripping TV documentary "Surviving R. Kelly," federal prosecutors in New York pieced together an ultimately successful indictment. A guilty verdict was reached in 2021.
What happens in Chicago remains to be seen. However, Kelly's chances of an acquittal are very slim...
