  Right? What a reactionary lot we have on this thread. Isn't the idea behind prison that the jailed become reformed, so able to exist in the world without being controlled by the system? That was the theory. The reality is somewhat different. No one gets reformed in prison. If R is found guilty then it's time for him to finally confront the issues (no more pay offs or avoiding the subject) that got him where he is and explain and cure his illness for underage girls. Pedophiles are mentally ill. There IS no cure. Not even castration. Prison retribution/pain/torture etc etc just creates whole new set of problems. Besides if anyone messes with him in jail it would be suicide because he'll always hold massive sway. How so? R Kelly ain't no badass gang banger, he's a millionaire singer who likes to fuck underage girls. The first targets for rape and serious assault in prison are pedophiles and rapists. The fact that R Kelly is famous will probably make him an even bigger draw for the booty bandits. Sid Vicious got raped at Rikers, as did Tupac (allegedly).

as sad it is for the children he allegedly had sex with, try seeing the positive side of all this: if he is guilty, we'll probably be saved from his God-awful R&B-diarrhea,...so we will all benefit! | |

I am reactionary & judgemental about anyone who has sex with children, proud of it He's done this repeatedly for years & feels no guilt about it - you think he can be reformed?  All I'm saying is nobody is born evil and something damaged him somewhere along the way. Seems like he has gone through his life using money to buy silence and avoid confronting the problem. If he could learn to control the urges then he's no threat to society and could safely walk the streets. Do all the evil tortures and nasty minded retributions you all listed and he's liable (As anyone else would) to emerge angrier and more messed up than ever. | |

[This message was edited Thu Jan 23 3:41:25 PST 2003 by nas3110] The rapper getting raped in jail is usually just used as a made up diss by rivals as a slight on their masculinity come release. DMX got the same. For real though R. Kelly has at least as many contacts as any rapper out there and he'll be safe in jail trust that. An attacker wouldn't be safe in jail or out. | |

Hopefully, he will not use this as an excuse. I personally was a victim of sexual abuse for many years as a child. Not once could I even fathom doing that to someone else's child. I live in Chicago where this person is from, and happened to be listening to one of the local urban radio stations, WGCI. They seem to be determined to play his music(innocent until proven guilty), even after the videotape surfaced. Anyhow, they continue to play his music now, even with the pictures that have surfaced(go figure). I don't listen to this station but I wanted to hear what the people were going to say about this recent arrest. Some of the stupid, stupid women that called in said that the girl knew what she was doing and that pesron should not be blamed/not take all the blame. They also said they would continue to support his music. I wonder how they would feel if it were their own daughters. Would they fault her or that person? Anywho, that person going to jail would not even be an option had it happened to my kid. He would be dead, period and I'd gladly sit in jail for it. | |

All I'm saying is nobody is born evil and something damaged him somewhere along the way.
God, THAT "I never had no love as a child" line of defence! Puh-lease! Sick is sick is sick is sick. Pedophiles are born not made. Seems like he has gone through his life using money to buy silence and avoid confronting the problem. If he could learn to control the urges then he's no threat to society and could safely walk the streets. You must be a paid-up fan. How do you control something you naturally gravitate to - as in think is perfectly normal. To be frank, some fourteen year olds look much older (ask Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones), and were it R Kelly's first and only "offence", then a good defence team could probably get him off (so to speak) with no more than damages and maybe a year in a sex addiction clinic. BUT R Kelly has always been at it with underage girls. Do all the evil tortures and nasty minded retributions you all listed and he's liable (As anyone else would) to emerge angrier and more messed up than ever. True. In which case you chuck him back inside. | |

It's surely revenge for many inflicting what they suffered on another. It also may even become normal, exciting or acceptable to their damaged mindsets. As for still playing him on the radio (His latest single "Ignition" hit #1 on R&B chart) well he hasn't been sentenced for anything so surely you can't go around as a vigilante shutting down the accused without benefit of a trial? By the way, is the photo at following link a genuine still from the offending video? To me it looks fake like a porn film with R's head imposed on: http://clubs.yahoo.com/cl...pandhiphop | |

I agree, I think it's testiment to his illness that he always seems to be dealing with underage girls rather than searching out eighteen year olds who look younger etc. Surely he could travel to states or countries where young teens are legal also if he was serious about avoiding the law. The whole video, photograph, marrying Aaliyah things seem to suggest he was always going to get caught out and maybe sub-consciously wanted the help that would bring. | |

R Kelly is big in Chicago. "Ignition" remix is number one on the nightly countdown shows on two of the urban stations. "Step in the Name of Love" is played on all three urban stations in town.
The Fox station in Chicago is in trouble for a memo that was circulated outlining how to treat the story. Fox does not want to offend Kelly, so to keep the exclusive interviews coming in. | |
