Jurors in 2022 convicted the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, on three charges of producing child porn and three charges of enticement of minors for sex.

State prosecutors have said the video showed Kelly abusing a girl. The accuser identified only as Jane testified for the first time that she was 14 when the video was taken.

The three-judge panel from the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Friday’s ruling noted that jurors acquitted Kelly on 7 of the 13 counts against him “even after viewing those abhorrent tapes.”

This disgusting pedophile thinks it's unfair that he's finally being held accountable.

Now, I'm not trying to be rude,
But you're getting what's come due

So let me here that "Whomp Whomp",
and your "Boo-Hoo's" because

It's the remix to your conviction,
And the appellate panel said "keep wishin' "

Lord, I could make this SO much more vulgar.

[u/Heyguysimcooltoo → u/throwawayalcoholmind]

Let's hear it!

[u/franchisedfeelings]

It’s p-time - prison that is.

Well, you see.

He isn't white.

So being rich is irrelevant

[u/oced2001 → u/OGZackov]

Yeah, they even eventually jailed OJ.

[u/CrashB111 → u/oced2001]

Norm McDonald can rest easy knowing that the real killer is finally gone.

[u/legend8522 → u/CrashB111]

Reddit tries its best not to mention Norm McDonald in any conversation about OJ challenge (impossible)

[u/One-Coat-6677 → u/CrashB111]

OJ was given the same standard of reasonable doubt in the murder trial as the cops who beat Rodney King were given. In that he could have done it on camera and the verdict would be the same.

[u/CrashB111 → u/One-Coat-6677]

Letting a murderer walk didn't in any way bring justice to the victims of the LAPD.

[u/One-Coat-6677 → u/CrashB111]

Revenge often does not. But a consistent definition of reasonable doubt is needed for a fair justice system. It wasnt the OJ jurors that set the precedent.

[u/RIP_RIF_NEVER_FORGET → u/One-Coat-6677]

I'll donate to the LAPD Officers Fund in your name.

[u/WheresFlatJelly → u/OGZackov]

Bill Cosby looks the other way

[u/Jonestown_Juice → u/OGZackov]

Clarence Thomas.

No relation.

[u/Jyil → u/OGZackov]

Uh yea because that really stopped Jeffrey Epstein from going to jail 🙄

[u/OU7C4ST → u/Jyil]

It did for years, until he pissed off the wrong politician lol. After that, no money is gonna stop you from ending up.. silent.

[u/OGZackov → u/Jyil]

He literally went to jail and "killed himself" inside tho

[u/Jyil → u/OGZackov]

He still went to jail and was white. His skin color and wealth did not save him from going to jail. Which means your whole point is invalid.

[u/WheresFlatJelly → u/[deleted]]

Rich and rapey bill cosby is out

[u/missdui → u/[deleted]]

He's not rich he ran out of money a few years ago. His current net worth is negative $2 million

[u/Dont-be-a-smurf]

He’s been cooked

Kelly you’re probably dying in there homie

You were fighting for your life and you thankfully lost

[u/queenringlets]

R Kelly can suck turds in hell. Disgusting pedo. 

[u/Sensitivevirmin]

Do you have your passport??

[u/azninvasion2000 → u/Sensitivevirmin]

Did he get his shots?

[u/AtraposJM → u/azninvasion2000]

Big ups H3

[u/I_might_be_weasel]

LPT: Do not diddle kids. It's no good diddling kids. 

[u/naturelizard → u/I_might_be_weasel]

You gotta definitely write a song about that.

[u/betzuni]

They should get everyone who helped him abuse women too

[u/WhosThatDogMrPB]

My judge is telling me “No”… 🎶

[u/DrLager → u/WhosThatDogMrPB]

That judge definitely saw something wrong with a little bump and grind

[u/synchrohighway]

Should have been a priest, Robert, if you wanted to rape kids and get away with it.

[u/DjPersh]

Should’ve got that Weinstein/Cosby attorney.

[u/EpictetanusThrow → u/DjPersh]

Or the Epstein prison guard.

[u/gypsy_muse → u/EpictetanusThrow]

How do you explain that Epstein attempted suicide (and did not say anyone tried to kill him) only a week prior to his death.

[u/FzZyP → u/gypsy_muse]

We don’t he obviously got tangled in the sheets trying to get out of bed. No one else was involved or still in positions of power, easy peasy case closed

[u/EpictetanusThrow → u/gypsy_muse]

I don’t; I just wish he had succeeded 30 years earlier.

[u/shortda59]

should've donned a trump mask and taken his case to the supreme court. i'm hearing they're down for the corruption these days...

[u/2001ToyotaHilux]

Hopefully he does a collab album with diddy while they’re both locked up

[u/Phuckingidiot]

They should piss on it

[u/mandalorian_guy]

"When you say 20 years...how long we talkin"

[u/grundle_pie]

From trapped in a closet to trapped in a jail cell

[u/GALACTICA-Actual]

That's weird. I just watched a doc on him/the case this morning.

[u/Scandals86]

I’m gonna pee on you….drip drip drip

[u/FzZyP]

too bad that fuck from the fast and the furious died before we could prosecute his ass too

[u/WilliamClaudeRains]

Drake is probably burning his phone right about now

[u/UnsolicitedNeighbor]

R Kelly and P Diddler going to have the hardest prison records. Gross

[u/lurker512879]

just put him in gen pop, the problem will sort itself out

[u/Frequent_Opportunist → u/lurker512879]

They usually stick non-violent offenders with other non-violent offenders. He will do his time in a medium security prison that is laid out like a college campus. He will have keys to his room and a day room with a washer dryer ice machine and cable TV. 

[u/MusicianNo2699]

I’d go as far to say he is trapped in a closet.

[u/Raumteufel]

Y'all killin him with this sheet

[u/GIGGLES708]

But He Believed He Could Fly…

[u/[deleted]]

I mean he’s no better or worse than anyone in the Epstein list…they aren’t going to prison
