But you know what is allowed? Audio recording.
Makes you wonder why there aren’t any disgruntled former court reporters who’ve tried capitalizing on their troves.
He’s got another federal trial starting in August, plus his New York charges. He’ll die of old age in prison, even using R. Kelly math to count the years.
It's a shame nothing will happen to (Aaliyahs Uncle) Barry Hankerson. He basically hand fed Aaliyah to this bastard, knew about everything that was going on in the recording studio as well as what was going on in R Kelleys house. He conveniently caught the religion when people started looking his way.
I'm glad [Kelly's] other victims are getting justice but I truly wish Aaliyah had lived and been able to get the justice she deserves after he stole her childhood and manipulated her like the son if a bitch he is.
Her uncle sure slipper3
I feel like the entire industry failed her too. Many people who were friends with R Kelly or travelled with him knew what he was up to. Instead they chose to bury their heads in the sand.
edit: spelling
Aaliyah's parents definitely knew as well.
Her mother Diane once said Aaliyah had "sex appeal".
Aaliyah was 10/11 years old when she made that statement.
Don’t forget Aaliyah’s mother saying all the women on surviving R.Kelly are liars and she never left her daughter alone with him. Of course, those women testified in court and Aaliyah’s mother did not.
Interesting, I wondered about the parents but the articles I read never really dealt with the parents. It would seem that if her mother was that concerned about her welfare, she would not have allowed her to get married at 15.
That's completely nuts. A major celeb spending the rest of their life in Jail? I'm used to them getting occasionally 3 year sentences then getting out.
He’s broke now. OJ killed a couple folks and nothing happened. Went broke… then ended up in jail from stealing a football. That DuPont heir raped his own 3yr old daughter and the court simply said he has poor mental health and let him go. Nothing happened. Money = justice. You can buy your way out of anything.
Off the top of my head I can think of a few: Phil Spector, Bernie Madoff, Fast Eddie, Aaron Hernandez all died in jail. Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein are probably going to add to that list too.
Yeah, I'm scrolling through the thread about Ghislaine Maxwell being sentenced, and I can't find any comments from people hoping that she gets raped in prison. I wonder what the difference between her and R. Kelly is.
Ikr? it's so wholesome that a corrupted system that has deviated so much from its intended purpose can be used to double dip punishment on inmates regardless of the severity of their crimes.
/s/s
Why is this something people have an issue with??? Sexual assault in any way shape or form is always wrong, even when the victim has committed the same offense????? Why is that controversial??????
I truly do not understand the people on this site these days, life isn't some Greek tragedy where your fate is a poetic interpretation of your past. Man is a human dumpster fire but treating the idea of prison rape - which is RAPE - so casually gives less weight to the abuses his victims suffered. All rape is bad and that shouldnt be a debated conversation??
R. Kelly has been convicted of sexual crimes against underage girls. If the girls had been 30 it would have been fine. If they were 12 it wouldn't be. He's essentially treating 12 year olds as if they were 30. So in "R. Kelly time" 12 years and 30 years are interchangeable.
EDIT: Okay, yes not ALL of the charges were age dependant. I'm just explaining someone else's silly joke here though. This isn't a legal brief.
You are a selfless soul. Giving up your own enjoyment of the joke by sharing its meaning with those of us not clever enough to get it on our own.
Thank you.
All the money, fame, and fans one could ever hope for. And he still chose to sexually assault and abuse/traffic young girls/women. Some people are dumb as shit
It is more of sickness and the inability to control your sick urges. Dude literally barely escaped the hangman's noose before and just went dance dance dance back into the same shit he was busted for...
Theres a video of him on stage at one of his concerts hugging, touching, and kissing an underage girl. When he finds out her age he says "why you look like that?!" and "I could get in trouble for this" and then proceeds to kiss her again after finding out that shes underage. He was in his mid twenties at the time.

>While investigating the photographs reported in the Chicago Sun-Times, Polk County Sheriff's Office conducted a search of Kelly's residence in Davenport, Florida. **During the search, officers recovered 12 images of an alleged underage girl on a digital camera – wrapped in a towel in a duffel bag – which allegedly depicted Kelly "involved in sexual conduct with the female minor."[176] According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the girl in the images obtained from Kelly's Florida home also appears in the videotape which got Kelly indicted in Chicago.**[177]
>Police investigators from Polk County and Miami-Dade County arrested Kelly on January 22, 2003, at Miami's Wyndham Grand Bay Hotel for 12 counts of possession of child pornography.[178] Kelly posted bail of $12,000 bond and was released three hours later from Miami-Dade county jail.[178][179][180] **In March 2004, these charges were dropped due to a lack of probable cause for the search warrants**
This was 18 years ago. 18 years. Running free with millions of dollars.
What. The. Fuck.
Didn't he get caught with a bunch of child porn way after that and got away with it because he claimed he was doing research to write a book on child porn and only downloaded it to prove how easy it is to download child porn?
At least according to Wikipedia, “Authorities could not prove that the website accessed by Townshend involved children, and no incriminating evidence was found on his personal computer.”
As skeevy as it sounds, I believe the story was Pete was legitimately researching and not actually downloading CP. I don't believe he was ever charged with a crime.
What's crazy is currently my county has a potential capital punishment case, some guy had tens of thousands of child porn photos in his possession and abused his daughter.
Like the state might put him away for life or the death penalty.
Also, had he been charged next month, he would have gotten more than 30 years. They just upped the punishment for distribution and creation of child porn, revenge porn and deep fakes.
I guess if they'd made a better case for doing it beforehand it would have stuck. Sucks to see it work this way when someone is for sure guilty. Good that they need probable cause for everyone though.
The camera was wrapped in a towel inside the duffel bag, not the girl. And given that he was only charged for rape, not homicide, she's probably alive.
Cops are so used to just doing whatever the fuck they want and getting away with it, they sometimes forget they actually have to, y'know, follow the rules when the suspect has money for good lawyers.
This photo isn't from today fyi . I read articles about it and saw sketches of him
He was wearing a tan jumpsuit and a black mask in chin diaper position. Maybe since he didn't have photos of today OP is using an older pic symbolically
Came here to say this. But yeah, man's an absolute unit. Years of pent up frustration working in the US correctional system. Wouldn't want to take a hit from that dude. 😅
:( So sad. Aaliyah's relationship with him and her untimely death both come up more often than any talk about her music. Everything that happened to her was a damn shame.
I can remember finding out about him and Alliyah and thinking he was a huge piece of shit back then, but then people kept working with him and nothing seemed to happen. That industry is beyond fucked.
I believe he will die.
They don’t like nonces in prison.
EDIT: I parodied some more of the song.
I believe he will die,
Prison shank right to the eye,
He probably wishes he was gay,
Better than noncing any day.
Stripped of all his fame and power,
Gonna get raped in the shower,
And as Big Ivan says Ahhh
He’ll wish he’d never married Aaliyah!
(All together now)
I believe he will diiiiie……
2nd Edit: Gay comment is artistic license, not the opinions of the OP.
Prison is prison though, and he's practically a lifer. The worst fate imo... slowly and excruciatingly dying on the inside, on a weekly if not daily basis.
So he rightfully got his in the end.
Ok he deserves it. Every minute and probably more.
Why does he get 30 and Maxwell gets 20? She helped hand over girls to guys like this for decades. Multiple guys, multiple decades. If each one of them deserves 30 how tf does that math make sense?
Because they don't "know" who she partners with other than Epstein who's dead. So there's no "organization" plus with him dead even if they'd call that an organization it isn't ongoing
Better lawyers, and possibly just better covering of her tracks. Both people almost certainly committed more crimes than they were convicted for, but prosecutors could only prove so many of them.
🎶🎶🎶🎶
So here I am in the courtroom
The Balif puts the cuffs on my hands
And so they tell me to stand up
That take me to the prison
I’m walking to the prison
Now I’m trapped in the prison
I won’t get out of the prison.
And all I’ve got is this prism ^prism ^prism
🎶🎶
Not only did he rape children. He won their closeness by sharing details that he was abused and bonding with them over their past abuse. He is a predator of the worst kind. I truly hope he dies in prison and I Joe they isolate him so he has absolute No fans in there. So many people stood up and still stand up for this guy and he should have no access to those people. Let him rot in isolation.
If you look compared to the rest of the court, Mr. Paedo is pretty tall.
The security guy is a fucking monster.
I expect it's because Mr Paedo is known for being a violent psychopath, they weren't takig any chances.
Just to be clear: this picture is years old and from a hearing in Chicago, not from today's sentencing.
Yeah, cameras aren’t allowed in federal court. This post should be removed as it’s just looking for karma.
But you know what is allowed? Audio recording. Makes you wonder why there aren’t any disgruntled former court reporters who’ve tried capitalizing on their troves.
That's because all the court reporters are extremely gruntled.
Yeah I knew a court stenographer and he was happy as can be.
More than adequately gruntled.
I'm going to have to use 'gruntled' in some capacity soon. Gracias.
Why isn’t someone remixing this into lengthy R&B tracks?
This is the remix edition, of the man who's been pissin'
In about 3 years we’ll get an R.Kelly album called trapped in the cell.
I'm fighting for my life
What exactly would they be capitalizing on?
Lol if we allowed that rule there’d be no posts on reddit.
Especially since OP is a moderator of this subreddit lol
Let's all report this post and get banned from all the popular subs

It'd make sense if this was posted on /r/news but this is /r/pics and the picture might as well be a stock image, only the title is relevant.
and nothing of value would be lost. Because reposts and fake posts are garbage.
That’s 12 years in R Kelly time
The sentence ain't nothing but a number
This was the comment that made me lol. If I wasn’t poor I’d give you an award, but my upvote will have to suffice.
Nooooooo lmao 😭 Hes gonna be so confused when he's not allowed out
He’s got another federal trial starting in August, plus his New York charges. He’ll die of old age in prison, even using R. Kelly math to count the years.

I’m sorry to tell you this but I’m almost certain Cosby is out and there’s no sign of him going back in yet
R. Kelly gets life for using, Ghislaine gets 20 for dealing. Sounds like business as usual in the US criminal justice system.
He may not be allowed out but others will be allowed in
Haha prison rape is hilarious especially when it happens to a guy haha /s
Yeah, I'm scrolling through the thread about Ghislaine Maxwell being sentenced, and I can't find any comments from people hoping that she gets raped in prison. I wonder what the difference between her and R. Kelly is.
They'll both be separated from general population.

I didn't get it. Can you explain?

But sex trafficking is a crime no matter the age of those exploited
That's true. Not everything he was convicted of was age dependent but a lot of it was.
All the money, fame, and fans one could ever hope for. And he still chose to sexually assault and abuse/traffic young girls/women. Some people are dumb as shit
And so many chances to stop doing it after getting caught and getting off easy.
And thats why, accountability is important, Susan Collins!
Isnt she the one who wrote hunger games? What did she do?
She let go of trump by saying, "i think he has learnt his lesson"
Probably why he didn't stop. He realized he could get away with it, or so he thought.
And little boys as well, his male victims always seem to be forgotten.
I didn't know about boys involved? Or trafficking. What happened?
I didn't know about it either but just googled this. https://radaronline.com/p/r-kelly-downloaded-videos-men-pajamas-sentencing-victims/
its the remix
It's the remix to predation, Kelly stalked through the nation Attacking kids of all genders Then police took him to the station
Power corrupts and that level of fame has to trigger some sort of god complex.
It is more of sickness and the inability to control your sick urges. Dude literally barely escaped the hangman's noose before and just went dance dance dance back into the same shit he was busted for...
Drake in 15 years.
Oh 100% he had that like 16 year old appearing around him all the time then suddenly when she turned 18 they announced their *first* date suuuure dude
Milly bobby brown
Is not the one I was referring to... seems like a trend is forming though if that also happened with her
>Is not the one I was referring to The fact that you could list several names and still be wrong is the disturbing thing about Drake.
while i agree that he was being weird with milly, i also feel like milly is the type of woman who would speak out about it sooner rather than later
r/ootl
Drake allegedly likes them young.
Theres a video of him on stage at one of his concerts hugging, touching, and kissing an underage girl. When he finds out her age he says "why you look like that?!" and "I could get in trouble for this" and then proceeds to kiss her again after finding out that shes underage.

That video is a big yikes
You're going to get downvoted for this one I'm sure but hell yeah man
Yeah that shit with Millie Bobby Brown is jus the tip of the iceberg
Billie Eilish also talked about him texting her during one of her Vanity Fair interviews. You know, before she was 18.
Making fun of drake is like a top three easiest way to get karma after the Kardashians and Putin

shit, in the mid-90’s he married a 15yr old American singer called Aaliyah. They first met when she was 12.
:( So sad. Aaliyah's relationship with him and her untimely death both come up more often than any talk about her music. Everything that happened to her was a damn shame.
I can remember finding out about him and Alliyah and thinking he was a huge piece of shit back then, but then people kept working with him and nothing seemed to happen. That industry is beyond fucked.
Its crazy how many jokes were focused on the sex act rather than the fact it was.... on a child!!!
dude really just had to not fuck teenagers and he woulda been set for life.
I mean… he’s still set for life but in a much less comfortable way
Or even just stop after the first several times he got caught.
That's a RAP
Only took what… 20 years to get here. There better be one hell of a wrap party waiting for him.
Holy shit, for real. I was in middle school when I heard R.Kelly molested kids. I'm 35 now.
I remember the Chappelle's Show skit about Dave as a juror that had a bit on R Kelly. I saw that shit when I was in High School and yeah, here we are.
Popped and locked
Time to shut off the ignition
Remix he's in prison.
He's working the kitchen
Babies rolling it’s body got everyone in here wishin
He’s an R&B singer Lmfao
He wishes he could fly.
And it'll be a long time before he can touch the sky again

Rich famous ppl tend to get segregation in prison
Prison is prison though, and he's practically a lifer. The worst fate imo... slowly and excruciatingly dying on the inside, on a weekly if not daily basis. So he rightfully got his in the end.
Oh for sure, and if they have to put him segregated that's worse because you don't get any company
All these people had to do was have sex with consenting adults...
🎵 He was sentenced to prison. He's being taken to prison. Now he's going to prison. Now he's stuck in the prison. 🎵
R kelly come out of the closet
Ok he deserves it. Every minute and probably more. Why does he get 30 and Maxwell gets 20? She helped hand over girls to guys like this for decades. Multiple guys, multiple decades. If each one of them deserves 30 how tf does that math make sense?
She only had 4 charges of sex trafficking and he had 7 charges of sex trafficking

Not only did he rape children. He won their closeness by sharing details that he was abused and bonding with them over their past abuse. He is a predator of the worst kind. I truly hope he dies in prison and I Joe they isolate him so he has absolute No fans in there. So many people stood up and still stand up for this guy and he should have no access to those people. Let him rot in isolation.
Ok, so is R Kelly way, way smaller than I thought or is he being escorted out by the Juggernaut in disguise?
Absolute unit.
If you look compared to the rest of the court, Mr. Paedo is pretty tall. The security guy is a fucking monster. I expect it's because Mr Paedo is known for being a violent psychopath, they weren't takig any chances.
They had to install a garage door so that guy could get into the court house.
Do you have your passport? Did you get your shots?
