BARTOW, Fla. ? Detectives illegally seized photographs allegedly showing R&B singer R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl and prosecutors cannot use them to try him on child pornography charges, a judge ruled Thursday.

The photographs were on a digital camera seized from the singer's Davenport home during a drug raid.

Circuit Judge Dennis Maloney agreed with Kelly's lawyers that the Polk County sheriff's detectives did not have enough evidence to justify a search of Kelly's home when the deputies asked a judge for permission. A judge granted the warrant for the June 2002 search. The camera was found wrapped in a towel in a duffel bag.

Prosecutors said they haven't decided if they will appeal. If they don't, they would have to drop the 12 counts of child pornography against the 37-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly.

Kelly's Chicago-based lawyer, Ed Genson, immediately called the singer, who was not present, and told him the evidence was being thrown out.

"I told him 'congratulations.' He was very pleased," Genson said.

Kelly is also facing 14 counts of child pornography charges in Chicago and has pleaded innocent. Those charges are not affected by Maloney's ruling. Last month, seven of the original 21 child pornography charges against Kelly in Chicago were dismissed.

Kelly's hits include "I Believe I Can Fly," "Bump 'n' Grind," "Feelin' on Yo Booty" and "Your Body's Callin'."

Just more evidence of tryin to keep the black man down!

stupid cops, lol - they should watch Law and Order more often to learn about these things :Graucho

he must be innocent

I saw the video with him and a like 14 years old.. he's one sickfuck but his songs are fucking good.

maybe the judge is doing the same

fuck the judical system!

fuck that bullshit!!
It's obvious that the black man
paid the judge!!!!

Anyone with MONEY in America can get away with anything!

Yeah, if it was just a poor black guy I wonder if the same thing would've happend. :1orglaugh

No because a public defender would not have even argued the point, he/she would have talked that person into either taking a guilty plea with a reduced sentence or just did a half assed job of it and got the guy sent to prison.

Pedo? I don't think R Kelly has been accused of being a pedophile. He is accused of breaking the age of consent laws. Being a "pedophile" means being attracted to prepubescent girls. These girls were not prepubescent, were they?

Yes that is the correct defenition but he's not only being accused of breaking AOC laws..but producing child porn..and you don't have to be a prepubescent girl to be involved in CP..just under 18.
