Word?!
Jury selection for Kelly and two of his former associates is now slated to begin Aug. 15. Federal prosecutors in the Northern District of Illinois allege that they conspired to rig Kelly’s 2008 child pornography case and hide years of alleged sexual abuse of underage girls.
Shit, he gon' be in the bing so long, he might wanna see if the prison has a 401k plan, because he's going to retire an inmate!
Oh he's gonna retire alright... No social security benefits though.
Thanks for the explanation
There were no compelling reasons for temporary release. He was a flight risk.
I agree. Dude went through some sexual trauma that fucked him up before he knew what fucked up was.
Nigga please....I was reading Raekwon's from the Wu book and he has a part where he remembers walking in on GhostFace and a young Aaliyah hugged up together....right after they dropped 36 chambers sooooo...You can yell and scream in caps all you want to...... even if parents and others gave their daughters up....... HE STILL FUCKED & Pissed on them.... get your head out of your ass.
.
He's going broke because if they don't play his music which they aren't and he was in trouble with money cause more was going out than coming in.....I believe that's the main reason why his wife and daughters turned on him cause he stopped paying their bills.
He won't do all that time
30 years wow!! I mean he was a nasty nigga but 30 years
All this means the judges are to blame for some of these bullshit 5-10 year sentences they be giving out for murderers and rapist. I just saw a case the other day where a man tried to kill his girlfriend, he had dragged her into the bathroom beat her head against the toilet, stabbed her in the chest and then stabbed her in the head, when he went to get another knife she was able to run, someone had heard her screaming and called the police so when she got outside the cops were pulling up. The dude was arrested and went to trial but because he didn't kill her he only got 6 years in prison..smh
I saw a lawyer trying to say Deshawn Watson could be charged with this because he flew one of his accusers from Atlanta to Houston for a massage and then sexually assaulted her
Plus, that would've made him look more guilty. How did Russell Simmons look when he fled?
You're an absolute idiot.... you're basically saying cause people pimped kids to him, or that they wanted to, that it was all good...... FOH pedobear lover.... he was fucking underage girls.... for decades.... and these are only the ones we found out about
.
When they put heat up under Russel Simmons he was smart and left the country and went to an island with no extradition
I feel ya and again he's a nasty nigga. I mean guess dammmmmmmmm....
..and he has another one after that
"I can't be having men pissing
on ME for 30 yrs!!!"
Feds: R. Kelly remains on suicide watch ‘for his own safety’
NEW YORK (AP) — Federal authorities are pushing back on R. Kelly’s claims that he was placed on suicide watch as a form of punishment last week after a judge sentenced him to 30 years behind bars for using his fame to sexually abuse young girls.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn filed court papers late Saturday saying the disgraced R&B superstar remains on suicide watch “for his own safety” following a psychological assessment.
Kelly’s “current life circumstances undoubtedly bring emotional distress,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Melanie Speight wrote in a court filing.
“He is a convicted sex offender who has been sentenced to spend the next three decades in prison,” she added. “In the immediate future, he faces another federal criminal trial in Chicago for charges related to child pornography.”
Kelly’s attorney filed a lawsuit Friday alleging prison officials placed him on suicide watch at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center “solely for punitive purposes and because of his status as a high-profile inmate,” adding that Kelly has had no thoughts of harming himself.
“Nothing occurred during sentencing that came as a surprise to Mr. Kelly,” attorney Jennifer Bonjean wrote in the lawsuit. “While the conditions of suicide watch may be appropriate for individuals who are truly at risk of hurting themselves, they are cruel and unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment for individuals who are not suicidal.”
Kelly, 55, didn’t give a statement and showed no reaction upon hearing his sentence, which also included a $100,000 fine.
The Grammy-winning, multiplatinum-selling songwriter was found guilty last year of racketeering and sex trafficking. He has denied wrongdoing, and he plans to appeal his conviction.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons has been under heightened scrutiny since financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself behind bars in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused girls as young as 14 and young women in New York and Florida in the early 2000s.

Especially when he starts thinking about what his life used to be like. From jetset to jumpsuit.
And i reiterate: he did it to himself.
And the hits just keep on coming!

R Kelly Has $28,000 in His Prison-Inmate Account. Prosecutors Want to Seize It
Prosecutors have asked a federal court to seize more than $28,000 that R Kelly has in his prison inmate account, noting that the R&B singer hasn’t paid $140,000 in court-ordered fines.
In a letter Thursday, the government said it was informed by the Bureau of Prisons “that the defendant had accumulated substantial funds in his inmate trust account,” which can be used to buy food and items at the prison commissary. As of Aug. 3, the amount was $28,328.24. The Bureau of Prisons has restrained the funds at the government’s request, leaving just $500 in his account.
Kelly was sentenced in June to 30 years in prison for sex-trafficking by a federal judge in Brooklyn, New York. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn told the court that to date, Kelly hasn’t paid any of the criminal penalties imposed. They are asking the judge to put the money into an interest-bearing account “pending a determination as to the amount and applicability of a restitution judgment.”
Jennifer Bonjean, a lawyer for Kelly, didn’t immediately return a voicemail message seeking comment about the government’s request.

he should have left the country with russell simons
He wasn't overcharged.
"In this federal case in the Eastern District of New York, Kelly faced a total of nine counts -- one count of racketeering, with 14 underlying acts that included sexual exploitation of a child, kidnapping, bribery and sex trafficking charges, and also eight additional counts of violations of the Mann Act, a sex trafficking law.
Kelly was found guilty of nine counts -- one count of racketeering and eight counts of violating the Mann Act. Of the 14 underlying acts for the racketeering count, he needed to be found guilty of at least two to be convicted of that count. Jurors found prosecutors had proven all but two of the 14 underlying racketeering acts."

R. Kelly convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking by a federal jury in New York | CNN
Jurors have found R&B singer R. Kelly guilty of racketeering, including acts of bribery and sexual exploitation of a child, along with separate charges of sex trafficking.
A 14 year old Aaliyah. This shit has been common in the entertainment industry for decades. Unfortunately, just as it's always been, there are a lot more perpetrators in that business that will never do jail time.
Exactly. It would have to be in the high hundreds if not thousands. The ones we know of are the overflow... Those few whose parents complained and those women who came forward.
R. Kelly accuser to give key testimony on trial-fixing charge
R. Kelly's federal trial in Chicago that starts Monday is in many ways a do-over of his 2008 state child pornography trial, at which jurors acquitted the singer on charges that he produced a video of himself when he was around 30 having sex with a girl no older than 14.
If 'Jane' says that IS her in the video when she was 14
AND
Both RKelly and 'Jane' say, in the video, that she IS 14.
What is RKelly's defense?
I think RKelly's team will do a cross on all the videos shown by the Prosecution tomorrow.
Curious, what they will say to defend this.

I guess RKelly's defence can say, in the video is a different girl that is 18+
And just happen to be role playing, as if she is 14 years old with RKelly.
Could try that..
But
The girl in the video has a cross. That is identical to a cross worn by 'Jane'
when she was 14.
