Prosecution Rests In R. Kelly Case
 

rkelly.jpgR. Kelly's tell-tale mole has been found, the tape has been verified, the young girl has been identified by friends and family, and the prosecution in R. Kelly's child pornography trial has rested its case. Yesterday, 27-year-old Lisa Van Allen testified that she had multiple three-way encounters with Kelly and the victim when the victim was underage.

The jury will break for today and the defense will begin its presentation today. Although, now that the "missing mole" has been found, they will probably be looking for a new angle. Sadly, the fact that the victim won't cop to being in the tape is a pretty good one. [USAT]

I think jurors can understand why a young woman would not want to cop to being victimized by this poor excuse for a man on camera and then having this child porn watched and mocked by her own community.

If he offered to pay Allen $250, I wonder how much he gave the victim…

I am about as sick of R Kelly as I am with the notion that HRC actually might not drop out of the race tonight! Not that it really matters for either b/c we all know that the evidence/votes is/are against both of them!

Amazingly enough, people still celebrate this pervert. I've heard GROWN WOMEN actually defend him and blame the victim for enticing him. Black people, we've gotta do better.

though i am by no means an advocate of violence, sometimes i daydream that someone has handled this fool like Nino in New Jack City. all jokes aside, this man is disgusting and reinforces how flawed our justice system is. smh

I am deeply disappointed that something like this would ever happen to anyone, let alone a 14 year old. We must all remember that we were once 14 and blameless/innocent. It is unfortunate, but R. Kelly took advantage of this poor girl, which in turn has left deep scars…some could be nearly unrepairable. I am a survivor of sexual assault at the tender age of 14. I was raped by a then 18 year old senior in high school. I carried this most horrendous act clear into my adulthood. Over the course of 20 years I had lived in denial, self-blame and very low levels if any self esteem. It’s not about race, economic stats, etc…The fact remains that this is and was against the law. These type of acts on a person are so damaging. Perhaps R. Kelly is sorry, but does that make it right to not admit his mistakes? There is a God in heaven and he will handle this accordingly. Letus have respect and offer up prayers for this woman. Have compassion for her. We were all once 14 and either have a child this age or eventually. What reaction would be if it were your child? My heart goes out to the family and victim of this self-centered, self-serving blasphemous act. Justice will prevail.

No. 10 · nina broxton

just know he a talent young man and when my daugther perform in his you remind me of my jeep video, he was not improsperous he was just the man doing his thing ,, I know that the younger girls at that time we more than willing to present their selves anyway thay and still will becase he was then and now R.Kelly a great entertainer, and people gety carry away with gossip and sometime don' know where or how a story starts only they assume it . and their it is the case is out of control as well as the media.. R.kelly was entertaining and everybody took it and tried to take him up the river, why because the worst of the public twisted things and any tired to trap in a closet,, but like whoddii …he came out of it,, you go r.kelly
