Comment: To understand this case I think people have to be able to separate "legal" from......"moral"!!! What we "feel" does always reflect a "legal stand point to convict someone on!! And b4 someone "goes there".... It ain't that the jury is...."ignorant" ok!??? "they" just have to follow the damn LAW & not their.....feelings!! I'm not ok with molesting ANYONE ok!!??? I"m just talking about..... "the law" of it all!!! Holla!!

Comment: I never saw the tape but I know it's him.Also, who is to protect other girls from this maniac in the future, he may just get bolder and more brazen and use this aquittal to pursue other young "fast azz" teens. I do not put nothing past RKELLY, he has daughters and what will stop him from "stepping" to them when they reach 13 years of age. Sadly, I feel that there will be more 13 year old children accosted by this sick and disgusting pervert in the near future. This mess makes my head hurt.

Comment: This is like the first article I've read on this. I've purposely not followed this because I just couldn't make myself care! lol Not that I care now, but I will say this. There were a lot more solid cases against him (ala the multiple lawsuits he settled prior to this one), but he just managed to skate by. But we all know karma is real, and if you keep playing with fire, you will eventually get burned. This was just a warning for Robert. If he's smart, he'll take heed and leave little girls alone. If not, sorry Tokyo_Joe, you can kiss your boy and his foul music (I don't like the "hip-hop" R Kelly, sorry) good-bye. *Sigh*

Manipulative, cunning, calculating but he is addicted to underage booty! Bighead if they are able to get him on the evidence found in florida he's gonna have to develop another taste. Entertainment show with Deborah Norville had cameras there when they brought all that stuff out of his florida home. They said it was all kinds of child porn. One way other the other he will get got!

Comment: You have the right to face your accuser in court. The alleged victim is now 23. She and her parents refused to cooperate with the State. As a grown woman unwillingly to identify herself as a victim and no story to tell of being violated and traumatized the case was almost impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. It doesn't matter what you or I or the jury saw on the tape. Had the woman and her parents cooperated I'm positive the outcome would have been different. The trial was delayed for six years because of the judge, the prosecutor, and R. Kelly's lawyers - which also worked to R. Kelly's benefit. The longer the case dragged on the less sympathetic the jury would be to a non-cooperating victim. At any time Kelly could have demanded a speedy trial and the state would have had to be ready in 60 days. There was no way in hell he was going to do that. Had the trial begun sooner with pubic outrage in full swing I'm sure the outcome would have been different. But the trial started this year after the release of 8 platinum albums (4 solo, 2 w/Jaz-Z, 2 Greatest Hits) and 5 successful tours. America had forgotten about a little girl that got peed on and a man with a history of messing around with underage children.

Comment: Taurusingr>I disagree. These jurors saw a CLEAR version of the sordid tape, and the reason they're giving for not convicting him, is because the victim refused to testify. The man has a HISTORY of paying UNDERAGE women HE HAS VIOLATED off!! So these jurors have a hard time believing that an extremely wealthy celebrity like kellydog, can dole out hushmoney to keep a victim quiet? How blind can they be? I guess they DIDN'T SEE Aliyiah's parents sell her up the river in return for fame and fortune. I guess they DON'T SEE all of kellydog's sick followers who continue to finance a pedophile. And, I guess they DON'T SEE those of us WHO WILL STAY TIGHT LIPPED UNTIL THE GRAVE IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!

Again, these jurors saw a CLEAR TAPE of a grown man violating a young girl. Protecting children and minors should be society's main concern. It's all about protecting them. They saw the animal in action!!! What else did they need? To be in the room with him? I'm not buying it, TGen.

What we are seeing that with the exception of Hip Hop artists, its very difficult for a jury to convict a celebrity in a criminal trail, be it Michael Jackson, Robert Blake, Phil Spector, OJ, and now R Kelly which proves even when they are caught on tape, the public will not convict.

Comment: I think it's pretty obvious he paid the girl and her parents not to testify. They had all kinds of legit witnesses testifying that it was the girl on the tape, so it's pretty clear that it was the girl. But think about it - if the parents and the girl were approached, they face a choice of going to trial, testifying, and still risking a not guilty verdict or taking probably a couple of million dollars and at least getting that as compensation. I personally would have thrown the money back in his face, but some folks think that it's better to have a sure $2 million in your hands than a not-so-sure jail sentence handed down. And one more point - if Justin Timberlake or Tobey McGuire or some other white singer/actor had been caught doing those same things to a little black girl, Al Sharpton, Jesse, Najee, at all the others would have been all over the media with boycotts and protests. Yet not a peep when it's CLEARLY R. Kelly on a tape with an obviously underaged girl....

Comment: And one more thing - just as it was in the first Rodney King trial, this was clearly the prosecution's fault. Even though you have a tape with clear and absolute evidance of a crime, you've still got to prepare for any and every thing the defense will throw at you - the Shaggy defense, the manipualted video defense, the discredit the witnesses defense, the lack of testimony from the victim, etc. They obviously didn't do their job right or else the jury would have seen this case for what it was - a guilty verdict.

Comment: Yeah, Kelly was definitely two stepping out of the courtroom on Friday, and I'm sure he celebrated all weekend long with his latest 17-year-old catch. But if they want Kelly, all they have to do is send in Chris Hansen from Dateline MSBC's "To Catch A Predator" and do a setup. Have the girl tell Kelly she's 14 and looks like Aaliyah. Kelly will be there in no time. Hansen will appear from behind the curtain: "Mr. Kelly, I see that you're stepping in the name of sex with a minor tonight. You want to explain yourself? What's that? You don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind? With a fourteen-year-old? Mr. Kelly, please. Say again? Your throat's dry and you're wondering if you can have some of that ice-cold red Kool-Aid sitting on the counter? Sure, help yourself. In the meantime I'll pull out this transcript of your on-line conversations that I'd like to go over with you if I may, after which of course you're free to leave...."

Comment: 1. Southernbelle - Good Point. Let the feds follow the money. I'm serious, get wire taps and stuff...like in the Wire.
2. R. Kelly did it. He's guilty and got lucky. He had a good legal team. So I wonder, can people sell and distribute the tape and make copies and not get accused of child porn? I'm just wondering because you know people are gonna be trying to sell the tape. Certainly, R. Kelly or the victim couldn't sue anyone who started selling the tape.
3. R. Kelly isn't going to stop his behavior. I think he will eventually get caught. But the courts should also go after the alleged victims parents, I'm sure they got paid off and are hiding something. What about the co conspirators? I'm sure R kelly has security who knows whats up?
4. I'd hate to say it but there will be plenty of young girls who don't know no better, who will still throw themselves at R. Kelly, and give it up for free. There will still be parents, who are willing to have their daughters essentially pimped.
5. The case would have gotten a lot more media attention had the girl looked more like Hanna Montana, or even Lassie ....but because the girl is black, and is not a four legged animal, this is not a big issue in the mainstream media..

Comment: Michael Vick comparisons get no play here. Michael Vick bankrolled a criminal operation. He committed state and federal felony crimes. It's not about the dogs it's about the law. His co-defendents were willing to testify against him and Vick eventually plead guilty under a plea bargain. R. Kelly's "victim" refused to cooperate with prosecutors. Hard to convict someone without a victim.

Comment: BigMamaThang there are still dog fighting rings in Virginia and since they thrive in most southern states - of which virginia is one - they shouldn't be wasting taxpayer dollars getting upset about dogs bred for fighting doing just that. No I don't agree with what MV did nor brutalizing dogs but given a choice my total support is behind protecting our kids. Too many of them are being abused, neglected and killed for me to get upset over a damn dog. Ruh is gonna do it again, of this I am sure. He is no doubt lulled into a false sense of security with this verdict and stupidly thinking he can pay his way out again. On another sad note tom joyner said he would punish ruh for a little while by not playing his music . . . not even a drop in the bucket of what he could really do.

Amazing...all the settlements include they never discuss the terms. Don't be surprised if someone doesn't make an attempt on his life. On the panachereport.com it also talks about how he treats his wife. She's got problems...the guy is sick and any one that supports his music is just as sick. I don't buy his CD's nor are they allowed in my home...

Comment: There is no comparison the the Mick Vick case. Vick copped a plea, did he not? There was no trail. Kelly chose to fight it and pay off as many people as he could. Trust if the girl or her parents had chosen to testify, Kelly would have made a plea deal and this would have ended years ago.

Comment: McNasty, I don't disagree with you. I value the lives of children over the lives of dogs, but Vick pled guilty. Kelly pled not guilty and the burden of proof was on the state of IL. However, without a cooperating victim, no ability to conclusively to prove the age of the girl in the video and no way to prove when the tape was made, all Kelly's lawyers had to do was introduce reasonable doubt. That was easy to do because half the girl's family testified that it was her and the other half testified that it was not her. Given those circumstances, the verdict was correct. I saw the tape. It looks like R. Kelly to me and the girl definitely looks younger than 18.

If nothing there should have been a deadlock and the case should have been re-tried. Now I guess there are jury members shopping for a book deal just like after the MJ and OJ trials. "Oh we knew he did it but I couldn't sell these 10 books revealing all of the behind the scene truths if we found him guilty." That's American justice for ya.

don't know if anyone else responded, so forgive me if i'm repetitive. however, the vick case had real phycical evidence and testimony to help the jury reach its verdict.
unfortunately, not so in the r trial. i'm disgusted by what may be on the tape (haven't seen it), but if the tape is the only evidence, i don't think it's sufficient enough. anyone can doctor up a video tape these days.

Comment: People keep saying that if the girl was white the verdict would have been different. I have to disagree. Kobe Bryant's alleged victim was white and in a state (Colorado) that has the harshest sex crime penalties. Kobe even admitted having sex with the girl. However, the minute she stopped cooperating with prosecutors the case against Kobe was dropped. The State of IL should have done the same thing because they knew it was going to be an uphill battle. Not guilty doesn't mean innocent it just means the state didn't meet it's burden of proof.

Comment: Okay y'all let me just say while I understand what everyone is trying to say - that ruh was found not guilty because the girl would not testify. Okay I got that Vick plead guilty. My point is that it appears that dogs are more protected than kids. Yeah he was found not guilty but the fact remains the man is a pedophile. According to the law (and why we're standing on that is beyond me because the law has never found much favor with black folks) ruh isn't guilty but according to his past and that damn tape he is but NOTHING was done. No matter how you try to explain it - from the beginning even before I knew who he was there has always been something creepy about him - next thing I knew bastid had married 15 year old Aaliyha!! Red flags should have been going up all over the place a long time ago. No matter what the verdict it's still hard to take.

Comment: This whole case disgusts me. I don't care how anybody tries to 'explain' away this pedophile's actions. If teachers could go to jail for having sex with their students, why can't R. Kelly? Priests who have molested children are tried and convicted years later by the victims memories of sexual abuse. I agree with DCGG that they know it's him on the tape but because the girl refuse to testify, all the charges are thrown out?? It's obvious that people got paid off in this case and this is more proof that the bodies of black girls/women are expendable and can be debased because they don't 'respect' themselves. Ugh!

I can't stand pedophiles. I have an uncle who raped his mentally disabled stepdaughter years ago. He was convicted of "child endangering" and her mother stayed married to him even after she found out. I can't stand him. This past weekend, my sister (who also knows about the situation) went to a cook out at his house and got upset when one of his daughters got up and eluded to their troubled family history.

Sorry but I'm not buying that one! I don't care what a little girl's body looks like...if a man would look in her face instead of her tits and a.s.s he can tell how old she is. And if that doesn't work have a conversation with her. Most young teenage girls cant carry on an adult convesation. Now the perverts can stop using the lame "she looks older" excuse!

Comment: QueenCityBee, Mystikal plead guilty to sexual battery and extortion. He initially denied the charge but changed his plea to guilty after a tape of the incident was found at his home. Two other men were convicted as well. The victim also cooperated with police. McNasty, I feel you. If R. Kelly had of testified then all the other cases that he settled would have come into play, but he didn't. This whole thing reminds me of the first Michael Jackson molestation case. The minute MJ offered up some money, the father of the alleged victim stopped cooperating with police and the charges were dropped. Shame on parents who sell their children to pedophiles. No amount of money would keep me from buying a man under the jail if he touched one of my kids.

Comment: BigMamaThang...you better preach girl. The prosecutors couldn't prove the identity of the girl on the tape nor her age at the time the incident was taped. Some folks testified it was her and others testified it wasn't her. To top it off, the alleged victim continues to deny it is her on the tape and many members of her family do as well. Who is the jury supposed to believe with all of these conflicting testimonies? The jurors did as they were supposed to by following the LAW. It's not their fault that the State of Illinois couldn't prove its case.

Comment: And before y'all jump on me...I ain't a R kelly Stan and am well aware that old boy has a long standing history of preying on young girls with a slew of settlements behind him. Unfortunately, he was acquitted, but Karma will catch up with him eventually.

Comment: the prosecution should have done a closing argument like Matthew McConauhey (sp?) did in "A Time to Kill". He should have made the jury close their eyes, then picture the whole episode step by step from coercion to urination, then at the end tell the jurors "now imagine that the girl was white"....the verdict woulda been GUILTY!!

Comment: I'm glad most of the posters realize that R. Kelly is a Pedo-Perv regardless of what the jury said. It's a shame that this freak can continue to do his thing. With all the evidence out there I don't understand why the Prosecution couldn't get a conviction, shoot, I know a couple of witnesses to his penchant for young girls, it's not real difficult to find, he didn't pay off every body. All I can say is all the young girls at Kenwood, Whitney Young, Hyde Park High in fact all Chicago High Schools (and all eighth graders for that matter)beware. And sadly it is not lost on me that Michaek Vick can be CONVICTED for dog fights, sex and pizz on a underage black girl and no conviction.

Comment: MindZone: I swear that went through my mind. I think the prosecution should tried that as a last resort. But, this is a sick man. I think he'll slip up an get caught eventually. I the justice(lol) system don't get him, somebody's brother/father/uncle/cousin will.

Comment: The fact that the jury kept asking to see the tape shows that they knew what was up. For some reason, people just don't want to BELIEVE that a person they know (or think they know) is capable of doing such a filthy thing.

Comment: gingerg>And, don't forgot those of us who refuse to stop financing a pedophile. I wonder if he crept up on THEIR daughter or sister would they still keep funding his empire. He raped your baby but you're still going to buy his latest CD hmmm...YOU KNOW he's a pervert but YOU CAN'T EXIST without kellydog's music. Sounds like somebody needs to get a life to me!! I'll say one thing for Kelly. The man is brillant at playing a lot of black folks. He has you all hook, line, and sinker!!!

Comment: I still maintain.... If it was a young white girl he was peeing on, he would have done time a long time ago. "They" would have said he victimized this poor white child and found him guilty right away. This world does not value and young black girl the way it does a young white girl.

Comment: Cant compare the MJ case with the R kEelly case...R Kelly got a staight up celeb break from that jrury and unlike R Kelly
everyone was allowed to come in court and make caims againts Michael....that first accuser wasnt piad no HUSH money cuz he still made a claim ON PAPER, Mike just settled to keep out the embarassment of a trial.....ACCEPTING MONEY FOR BEING ALLEGEDLY MOLESTED DOESNT TELL ME ITS MIKES FAULT BECAUSE HE PAID OR THAT HE'S GUILTY OF THE CRIME, BUT THAT THE FAMILY IS GUILTY FOR TAKING IT,
ESPECIALLY WHEN MIKES HEAD WAS DOWN AND THEY HAD A CHANCE THEY STILL DIDNT COME IN TO TESTIFY...BUT
KELLY....THAT WAS A PAY OF WE DONT KNO NOTHIN BOUT THAT GURL OR HER FAMILY.

Comment: nikki5 - You missed my point. I brought up Michael Jackson and Kobe Bryant to illustrate the fact that prosecutors usually don't go forward with sex cases when there isn't a cooperating victim; even if the alleged victim is white. In both cases the "victims" came forward and filed police reports and provided evidence to support a prosecution. However, when MJ decided to write a check, the victim stopped cooperating the the charges were dropped. In Kobe's case, when it was revealed that she had sex with several men she withdrew her complaint in exchange for money and a public apology. All charges against Kobe were dropped. In R. Kelly's case, the alleged victim never came forward, never filed a police report and denied she was the person on the tape. In spite of all that, the State of IL moved forward with a trial anyway. Did R. Kelly pay her and her immediate family off? Probably, but it doesn't matter; the State didn't meet it's burden of proof.

Comment: TO THE PERSON WHO POSTED EARLIER CONCERNING RUH'S WIFE,ESSENCE MAGAZINE DID A STORY WHICH FEATURED PICTURES OF HER AND RUH. IN MY OPINION, SHE IS NOT A VERY ATTRACTIVE FEMALE AT ALL,AND YES I AM STRAIGHT. MRS KELLY, LOOKS LIKE SHE'S TAKEN A COUPLE OF BLOWS TO HER FACE AND NOSE. DURING THE INTERVIEW, SHE SAID THAT THEY HAD BEEN SEPARATED FOR AWHILE AND DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY WERE EVER GOING TO GET BACK TOGETHER. WHEN ASKED IF SHE HAD SEEN THE INFAMOUS SEXTAPE, SHE SAID NO AND THAT SHE WAS OFFENDED THAT SHE WAS EVEN ASKED SUCH A THING. MRS KELLY, CAME OFF TO ME, LIKE SHE WAS IN DENIAL ABOUT HER ESTRANGED HUSBAND'S HIGHLY PUBLICIZED/DOCUMENTED CRIMINAL SEXUAL HISTORY. SHE EVEN TRIED TO ACT LIKE SHE DIDN'T FILE A COMPLAINT TO CHICAGO POLICE AGAINST MR KELLY,EVEN THOUGH HER COMPLAINT TRANSCRIPT, WAS POSTED IN THE CHICAGO SUNTIMES. PEOPLE WERE SHOCKED WHEN THE TRANSCRIPT WAS POSTED IN IT'S ENTIRETY, BECAUSE IT APPEARED THAT MRS KELLY, WAS HALF ILLITERATE AND COULD NOT HARDLY SPELL OUT HER COMPLAINT IN CLEAR ENGLISH. THE WHOLE SITUATION IS A SHAME, AS WELL AS TRAGIC. I BELIEVE THAT SHE KNOWS HE'S GUILTY HERSELF. THE BIBLE IS TRUE, WHEN IT SAYS THAT, IT RAINS ON THE JUST AS WELL AS THE UNJUST. R KELLY, EVEN VAGUELY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS HIM ON THE TAPE,WHEN HE SAID THAT THE GIRL ON THE TAPE WAS NOT A MINOR BUT 18. YES PEOPLE HE TOLD CHICAGO POLICE THIS,AND NOW HAS CHANGED HIS STORY SAYING THAT IT IS NOT HIM ON THE SEXTAPE NOW ALL OF SUDDEN. WOW I GUESS MONEY TALKS AND REAL EVIDENCE WALKS HA PEOPLE. MR KELLY IS A CAREER YOUNG GIRL PREDATOR AND HE BETTER TAKE ALL OF THAT MONEY HE'S GOT,AND GET THE LONG OVERDUE HELP HE MANAGED TO EVADE BEFORE HE DOES SOMETHING STUPID AGAIN. GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY,AND THE NEXT TIME HE GETS CAUGHT WON'T BE PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
