A jury acquitted the singer of all fourteen counts of child pornography.

The "Bump and Grind" singer was first charged six years ago after the kinky sex tape surfaced allegedly featuring him having sex -- among other things -- with a girl who was as young as 13 at the time.

Kelly had long denied being on the video tape -- and even the alleged victim said it wasn't her.

1. Wait... even the victim claimed that it wasn't her on the tape?

I didn't hear that part.

4. guess it helps to be rich

5. Or conversely, how much did she not want to be known as the girl who

got peed on by R. Kelly. :shrug:

6. hehe, maybe

I believe she is the niece of a singer who worked with R. Kelly numerous times.

Let's not forget, it is alleged that he once married singer Aaliyah (RIP) when she was just 15, her parents stop it or what not. She never worked with him ever again after that hoopla, mind you her uncle Barry Hankerson use to manage Kelly.

The man is a pedo!

I rest my case :D

3. She's been saying so for years.

Yet they kept trying to convict him, for some reason.

7. That's good.

I think that case was shady from the start. Took long enough for the case to be over. It doesn't seem like he was guilty, although there have been rumors of him with other "younger" girls. We will never know what really happened. But it seems like they got it right in this case.
