i remember in 2002 thinking that a 24 year post-grad student going out with a 17 year school girl was weird lol

If I were actually to consider accusing a network of looking to “profit” from these developments, it would be CBS for airing this week’s big two-part interview with R. Kelly. I guess he certainly has the right to defend himself on TV if he wants. But it feels like the exclusive, heavily promoted interview may serve to legitimize his position in some way? Idk

i kind of get the rhetorical move he's trying to make t/o this thread... but suggesting that a 12(!!!!!!!!) yr old girl can grant "consent" to have intercourse with an adult male--as he indeed does above-- is an incredible thing to write.

i believe he's gone from ILX so we can rake him over the coals safely I suppose.

it's more difficult to post with one hand holding an "R KELLY DID NOTHING WRONG" protest sign while standing outside a courthouse but he managed

i'm not sure he was trying to apologize for r. kelly much as he was trying to introduce some nuance (usually a good gesture) into a situation that doesn't really call for nuance.

i mean i can imagine a reasonable person writing something like "well, that 17 y.o. was very emotionally mature for her age" but trying to make that move w/ a 12 y.o.? holy shit.

R. Kelly's lawyer from his 2008 trial is dying of cancer and wants everyone to know Kelly was 'guilty as hell' https://t.co/DKYioShMbx— INSIDER (@thisisinsider) March 8, 2019

ok, but wtf? -- Genson also told the paper he doesn't think Kelly is guilty of the current charges against him: "I don't think he's done anything inappropriate for years."

wow a lot to unpack in that article

One of the men in the jury pool...who said he liked to crochet and had planned a trip to Germany to visit his boyfriend, said he wasn't too familiar with R. Kelly and thought the trial was about Robert Crumb, the 77-year-old cartoonist who signs his work as "R. Crumb."
