In reply to Jasmine.

R. Kelly has never been accused of being a pedo in court because he is not one by legal definition. People like Danyiel need to educate themselves on what a pedo is. A pedo is an adult that sexually abuses pre-pubescent young children (ie 12 years old or younger and before puberty). R. Kelly falls in the category of men who likes young women (post-pubescence). Thus, he is not a pedo. By federal law, the age of legal consent is 13 years old or older. While state laws vary, many states have 16 years old or older as the legal age of consent and some other states have 17 years old or older. His accusers claim they met Kelly when they were in their early 20s. There is nothing to charge Kelly with because he is not doing anything illegal.
