R. Kelly's Chicago trial: Jury reaches verdict in federal child pornography case

The decision comes at the end of a month-long trial featuring roughly 30 witnesses, including four women who said Kelly sexually abused them when they were teenagers in the 1990s. Jurors viewed graphic videos at the heart of the feds’ case against Kelly, and they heard that Kelly enlisted others to hunt such videos down when he first faced prosecution in the 2000s.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Pozolo told jurors during closing arguments that "Robert Kelly abused many girls over many years. He committed horrible crimes against children. And he didn’t do it alone."Jurors have begun deliberating in R. Kelly's federal trial in Chicago on charges accusing him of making child pornography and rigging his 2008 child porn trial.

That video was sent anonymously to the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002. The newspaper turned it over to police. Van Allen said she then reached out to Kelly, who promised her $250,000 to spend however she needed in order to get the tape back. Van Allen and Murrell were ultimately paid $100,000 each by Kelly and McDavid to return the tape, according to charges in the case.

McDavid took the stand in the trial’s final days of testimony, denying key aspects of the story told by Freeman, Van Allen and Murrell. He called Freeman a "rotten piece of sh—," and he said Van Allen was caught in "lie after lie after lie" when she testified against Kelly during his 2008 trial.

And you shall forevermore go by your REAL name.

This laughable as he already in for 30 years. He like 50 plus years old. This has to be for the record and fame of the Prosecutor or the DA. But dose nothing for the lives of the women or the families.

Trump would have far more charges than Kelly if tried

Will his residence trump Chicago be for sale? If so, I want his parking spot! LOL

Good. Take all his money. Pay back the justice system and the taxpayers to pay millions of dollars to bring this jerk to justice.

How can he even have any Trial in Chicago wait….how can he have a FAIR TRIAL?

Lots of trials and much guilt
