September 17: R. Kelly Trial
It’s going to be difficult to try R. Kelly for 14 counts of child pornography more than five years after the events allegedly occurred. Although the singer’s attorneys are trying to claim that the identity of the girl on the tape is unknown and therefore her age is unknown, as well as that R. Kelly himself may or may not be the adult African American male on the tape, Robert Sylvester Kelly, was nonetheless charged with engaging in sex acts with a young teenager.

It’s well known that 15-year-old Aaliyah and 27-year-old R. Kelly had secretly married after Vibe magazine leaked their marriage certificate. Then after the charges in 2002, he was charged in 2003 with 12 counts of possession of child pornography after police obtained digital photographs from his camera. Unfortunately, the search that led to that bust was ruled illegal, and R. Kelly skated away a free man.
