Defense attorneys argued the man on the tape didn't have a large mole on his back, as Kelly does.

I don't understand why he was sued in the first place, 13 or not, the girl WANTED to fuck him.

By law, someone who's underage is incapable of giving sexual consent.

Post by: Grecco on June 13, 2008, 06:39:52 PM
Err yes she was.

Anyways the guys a pedo, he banged aliyah when she was underage, banged this chick when she was underage and probably many more. Got off the hook because hes R Kelly not because he was inocent.

Hey I had sex with a 15(?) year old chick when I was 17.Same chick was giving me BJ's when she was 13.  Should I get prosecuted too?

R. Kelly yeaaaaaaaaah

Maybe if you were in your mid-thirties like R. Kelly was...

your grasp of this situation is outstanding.

So could you explain it to me then in laymen terms?

Adults + Kids + Sex = No

The difference between your situation and his is that you were not committing a crime.

as well it shouldn't.  jesus.

gs:  the girl denying it has nothing to do with this.
The girl involved in an alleged crime denying that a crime has been committed has nothing to do with the trial regarding that crime?

Granted, I haven't been to law school, but that reasoning seems fishy to me.

Correct. Criminal cases are "the people vs R Kelly," not "some girl vs R Kelly."

If the victim refuses to testify it can be damaging enough to the prosecution's case for them to drop it, but they don't have to because the victim is not the motivator of the process.

I'm glad you're fighting the good fight to force 13 year olds to testify in sexual abuse cases.

 :usacry
Was that directed at me?

The 23 year old alleged victim denies that she was the one in the tape. To me, that's as open and shut as it gets.

Shes a moronic fan. Just like in that Boondocks episode.

The man "married" a 15 year old girl, and had been having sexual contact with her since she was 13. Associates and friends have parted ways with him due to him going after their daughters, Eric B style. He's a menace

disgusting

There is this thing called "age of consent". There is this other thing called "law". They go hand-in-hand.

1. Pedos should be shot if the law provides for such sentences for the successful conviction of similar crimes.
2. 13 year old hos that hang around at parties and drink, snort and have sex may not act like a child, but she is too young to drink, not allowed to snort under any age, and does not possess the legal status to consent to sexual intercourse. Besides, getting drunk, wired and acting like a skank is hardly befitting a "woman's" behavior.  ;)

The law doesn't see many things. You know the saying: Justice is blind. And I personally think with countries in Africa where it's perfectly legal for a 50-year-old man to marry a 14-year-old woman (not the recent case in Egypt; I'm talking about other countries) you will always get arguments as to what constitutes a reasonable age of consent. However, that isn't for us to interpret or decide whether having sex at a young age is morally incorrect or not, or whether it should be someone's unalienable right to snort cocaine, or whether or not drinking alcohol brings health-related benefits. The law (in the US) states that persons of legal age are guilty of buggery if they engage in sex with someone under the legal age of consent, possession of cocaine is illegal under any circumstances, and you must be at least 21 to drink - your health be damned.

The law grants, provides and restricts us from our rights. We're not here to interpret or judge the law. We've got executive, judicial and legistative bodies that do this for us. In some cases, unfortunately.

She was 13 when it occurred.  Has it occurred to you that she might want this thing to just away, instead of being labeled as "that girl in the R. Kelley" tape.  This wasn't only about justice for her, but to get a pedophile off the streets.  Like AV said, this wasn't her vs. R. Kelley.
That had occurred to me. Has it occurred to you that she might not be the one in the tape, and R. Kelly might not be the man? And that the jury of 12 might have been correct in acquitting him?

Quote from: Yahoo
Over seven days presenting their case, prosecutors called 22 witnesses, including several childhood friends of the alleged victim and four of her relatives who identified her as the female on the video.

For all we know, those alleged friends weren't friends, and the alleged family was actually highly advanced androids sent from the future.

Just like the CG defense, I think somewhere you have to draw the line. At this rate it's only a matter of time before someone argues they were sucked into a dimensional vortex or went back in time. Quantum physics allows for such events to occur, and who's going to argue against the laws of physics?

The fact that friends and family said that the girl looked like her is not iron-clad proof that it was her.

they didn't say she looked like her - they said she she was her.

Well, the fact is that he was acquitted in less than an hour by the jury who saw all of the evidence. As far as you and I are concerned, that should mean that he wasn't guilty.

No - absolutely. He wasn't guilty - he was acquitted. But that doesn't necessarily mean he really didn't do it. People are wrongly convicted and acquitted all the time.
