R. Kelly is lobbying to have his convictions for child p*rnography and inducing minors to have sex thrown out.
Full story below…
The disgraced R&B singer is asking the United States Supreme Court to dismiss the charges by using the argument that the acts he’s convicted of occurred decades ago – thus are time barred by the statute of limitations.
When hit with the accusations in 2020, following the broadcast of ‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ the self-ordained “Pied Piper” argued that the alleged conduct dated back to the early 90s. Essentially, the basis of his clapback then is what he’s restating now. But there’s a twist.
At the time, prosecutors drew on a 2003 law named the Protect Act. An act that rendered the statute of limitations applicable in perpetuity when it came to crimes of this ilk.
However, Kelly’s legal team are drawing on nuance in an attempt to quash his conviction.
For, they are now arguing that the statute of limitations is indeed not applicable because the acts Kelly is convicted of occurred in the 90s and the Protect Act was passed in 2003.
Their angle, it appears, is the supposed retroactivity of the crimes and the Act.
Kelly’s team are resting filing on the basis that Congress did not specifically include a clause permitting the law to be applied to alleged conduct committed before 2003.
It will now be up to the Supreme Court to decide whether there is any merit to camp Kelly’s argument over the next few months.
Kelly is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of six of the thirteen counts. Of the convictions, three were for child p*rn and three for inducing.

Well, they should’ve arrested the underage victim’s parents as well. That’s child endangerment. WTH they left their kids to a grown ass men for? Money talk!
There is no endangerment case here for the parents. They left their children under the adult care of R Kelly. He’s in prison for violating that care.
Adult care my ass. Their parents know what they are doing. R. Kelly is not a babysitters hunnie… basically they were willingly sold their kids to the devil!
The children that seduced R Kelly & turned him into a ped o file should be imprisoned… Not R Kelly for he is and always has been INNOCENT and free of sin. 💯
#FREE RKELLY 😢 😭 🤧
WTF, are you Satan yourself?
FREE THIS MAN ….. HE SERVED HIS TIME ITS CRAZY HOW THESE WHITE PEDISBBE OUT OF JAIL AND DONE WORSE THINGS … HE’S NOT ANY DANGER TO ANYONE … AND WHOMEVER WROTE THIS ARTICLE DEFINITELY FEELS SOME TYPE OF WAY ABOUT R. KELLY … YOU SHOULD DO BETTER …..
The parents should have also been held accountable. They made the decion of leaving their child in his care
They they should be dropped, how many of these girl’s lied about their age, knowing he was famous and had money, so he slept with them, I believe he was treated unfairly, as for the child p***, that’s a big no no , and should be punished for that , and raised a s** offender , but I do love his music!!!!
R kelley may get away w the injustice (as thats america) for now, but God is watching & u cant run from him. Turn back while u can
I say throw it out.
He need to be released because he is in jail for something that was very out dated and most of it was made up because he was a star
Yep
I agree with you Dora the laws of this country should be equal for all no one should be treated any different .Do not condone the justice system for holding those accountable for crimes committed by them just be fair .A person color should not be a factor in their conviction justice should be equal for all Americans. Ask your self would God condone this when we stand before him we all will be treated equal .Satan is the Father of lies and we should not want any parts of him and that means not taking part in sugar coated
lies ask your self has any one ever lied on you ? The Apostle Paul drew a sharp contrast between those who follow truth and those who do not those who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Not saying that all are lies that he has been accused of just be fair to him let the scales of justice be equal to him like it has been for others.He needs to be treated equal and the accusers should be accountable for telling the truth not just for earthly gain.Why not let him on bond is there such a law that exist in this country that he can be confined to house arrest and monitored 24 /7 is their such a law ???
I don’t care how long ago it was!! R. Kelly is a Child Predator!!! If I had my say, he’d Never be a free man!! I have 2 girls; Izabele(22) and Katy(18) and if a man like R Kelly touched either of them, I’d string him up myself!! Forget the courts, he’d have to deal with me!! All the girls he’s messed with are in for a lifetime of therapy.
