I heard he made some underage scat porn, is that true?

is this the 'piss on you' video?

Yup, with a girl alleged to be 14 or so at the time. Problem is, she says it's not her but refuses to testify, and R. Kelly says it's not him on the tape, pointing out that he has a mole on his lower back that can't be seen on the tape.

The "Mole will keep me outta the hole", is how he put it, lol.

So far no one has come forward with a picture of the mole prior to the time the tape was shot (he says he had the mole since birth), leading some to speculate that he drew it on with a sharpie... :helpme

I know it's no laughing matter, but what I've read so far has been pretty entertaining...

ADG

so it is....damn freakshows

no i have a life i dont give a fuck what celebs are up to.

yea, im sure you have limited free time...

i mean with all the time you put in calling up all the places you take your bitches, making sure they clear the way and make the proper adjustments to their surroundings for your large penis.

I'm sure the fine dining establishments that you frequent have to special order their chairs, tables and doorways.


thats a lot of work. but only the best for the best, right?

:1orglaugh
actually i dont take my women out, i am a real pimp ;)

shit, me neither...

its crazy, i sit here and work and they still flock, to this day...




fuck rkelly...

I often wonder how come we don't see the same outrage in this case as we did in the Michael Jackson trial...
I guess people were more upset that Michael's victims were male than the fact they were kids...

or the fact that everyone knows MJ, he has the top selling album in the world...

how many know r kelly...

shit, i heard his name once before these accusations and trials...

Fuck R kelly

same reason OJ took a year and you dont hear about every other jealous slaughtering that happens EVERY DAY

BROKEN NEWS: R. Kelly Accused of Masturbating in Court During Sex Tape Viewing
 

Good point! :thumbsup Did you know that R. Kelly is illiterate? (It's true)

So anyway, I was in Google News and searched on R. Kelly, and a link to this story came up:

R. Kelly Accused of Masturbating in Court During Sex Tape Viewing

CHICAGO, IL ? In the middle of his highly publicized trial covering 14 counts of child pornography-related charges, R&B star R. Kelly appears to have added a new crime to the pile.

A week after the infamous video ? allegedly showing Kelly having sex with a then-underage girl nearly a decade ago ? was shown in court, prosecutors have filed an additional charge of indecent exposure against the Chicago native. According to papers filed late Thursday, Kelly masturbated throughout the 27-minute showing of the prosecution?s key piece of evidence.

?There have been secret cameras all over the courtroom this whole time,? said a source with inside knowledge of the case. ?Judge [Vincent M.] Gaughan is one paranoid dude ? although, I mean, he did specifically say he wanted to make sure R. didn?t get up to any funny business during the trial. I guess this is exactly the sort of thing he had in mind.?

The source says that Judge Gaughan himself has been reviewing the tapes over the course of the last week, and only Thursday morning did he come upon an angle that showed Kelly massaging his exposed member, despite the courtroom?s dimmed lights and drawn shades.

Kelly, for his part, denies these new accusations, much as he has consistently and vehemently denied that he had any part in the filming of the video. Though the singer himself would not comment, his lawyer confirmed that denial.

?I would first like to say that the clandestine filming of a trial is highly unethical, and that I see no way these supposed recordings should ever be legally allowed to be a part of these proceedings,? said visibly fraught Kelly defense attorney Marc Martin. ?I would also like to reiterate that Mr. Kelly denies touching himself inappropriately during the playing of the video.

And finally, I should point out that even if he was doing that, it would just be further proof of his innocence with regards to the child pornography charges. I happen to know for a fact that Mr. Kelly never masturbates to his own videos.?

But prosecutors see things differently. Given Judge Gaughan?s supposed impartiality, they believe the tapes should not be considered an illegal act on the part of the state, and should be allowed in court.

?Let?s face it, Judge Gaughan shot these videos for us, and nobody even knew they existed until he showed us how Kelly was beating off in the courtroom,? prosecutor Shauna Boliker told SSNN. ?If he wasn?t gonna let us use them, why would he even admit to all these secret spy cameras?

Clearly the guy is a bit of a nut, but as long as he?s still in charge of this case ? those tapes are in, baby! And thank God he had that night vision camera, because otherwise it would be awful hard to see the deed getting done with the courtroom lights off.?

WHAT!?!?!1one

oh for fuck sakes.

Not even Joe Francis is that nuts.

The jury is still out on that...

Speaking of juries, when is Joe due in court for his next hearing about the latest four underage girls?

ADG

WTF!?

Oh, no - they found the mole...

hahahahah

[insert self ownage pic]

I don't recall all the details, but weren't the boys in the Michael Jackson case children and not teenagers? I think there is a HUGE difference and that the kid thing is a million times more awful.

the whole thing seems very vague.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that it's a HUGE difference what MJ did and what R. Kelly did, and what MJ did (and was never convicted of), is a million times more awful.

So, a 35 year old having sex with a 14 year old girl (she may have been as young as 12 years old), and urinating on her body and in her mouth, is okay in your opinion? :disgust

ADG

Of course, it is not okay. I don't think anyone is alleging the girl was 12; everything I have seen says 14.

Neither Michael Jackson nor R. Kelly has been convicted at this time, but, yes, I think what Michael Jackson was alleged to have done was infinitely worse. Of course, the evidence that R. Kelly actually did what is alleged appears to be stronger, at least based on press coverage.

I think if someone has inappropriate sex with a 14-year-old, even a precocious one, that is wrong. I think if someone has any kind of sex with a 10-year-old, that is an evil worthy of the lowest levels of Hell. We're not talking right and wrong here, just levels of wrongness.

As near as I can tell from what I just read today about the R. Kelly case, the man appears to be disturbed, was probably molested by both a neighbor and his stepfather, and is most likely literally retarded.

Nobody said anything about this being okay.

The lady simply pointed out that with a younger victim the damage is likely to be more severe and life altering. Makes sense to me.

In a perfect world both Kelly and Jackson would be locked away until long, long after they were too old to bother anyone....if not longer.

Jackson walked, with any luck, Kelly won't :2 cents:

:thumbsup Yeah that.

Thanks for the clarification. From what I have read, R. Kelly alledgedly has a long history of the type of behavior he is accused of in his current case.

With all of his millions in earnings, he should be able to obtain some very good psychological help in dealing with his past, either as a free man or from behind bars.

It's hard to imagine he can beat this case, especially when there is a videotape as evidence, but we've already seen how juries can be in celebrity cases (OJ, MJ, Robert Blake, Phil Specter, etc)...

The Prosecution rested it's case today...
