    Rankin him right up there with Roman Polanski … if he moves to France and churns out a really cool video a few years from now, those dousches will nominate him for an award. Another perv walkin free.

    306

    I like his music, so I'm cool with his verdict. But, I do think his celebrity status, and his money helped him ALOT.

    I think its time white people started rioting. They will send martha fucking stewart to jail, but r kelly can go free to piss on more little kids? WTF?

  12. stoju says – reply to this


    312

    omg, omg. we cant say nothing right. he had a fair trial, right? i think hes totally guilty :)

  13. AndyR says – reply to this


    313

    Proves that just about any guilty celebrity can get away with anything!!! Sick really.

  14. kygir says – reply to this


    314

    This is sick. I guess he and OJ will be meeting up for champagne to celebrate the lack of justice they benefit from. This makes me absolutely sick.



  15. 315

    Why are we surprised by this outcome? If a perv like Michael Jackson is found not guilty then R Kelly will walk too…..

  16. DEE. says – reply to this


    316

    WHAT.
    THAT'S BULLSHIT.
    AFTER ALL THAT EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.
    I SWEAR. IF HE WASN'T FAMOUS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED UP YEARS AGO.

  17. Karla says – reply to this


    317

    BULLLLLSHIIIITT…

    318

    I'm from the Chicago land area and watching this all on the news.

    The jurors made the right choice from a legal stand point they had no evidence that it was him on the tape. Is there a mole or not. It is hard to convict someone when the supposed minor on the tape claims it isn't her.

    Many of them thought he was guilty but didn't on lack of evidence.

    I don't know if it was or wasn't him. But the case is closed. He got a lucky break. So many people are shocked.

    if he were a regular old pete mcpervert from around the block he would have been in jail a long time ago. karma karma karma

    321

    Why the heck do the courts even bother holding trial for the rich and famous when justice is never served and it is a waste of people's time and money?
    Pathetic.

  22. Ang says – reply to this


    322

    If the mole don't fit, you must acquit

  23. unrea says – reply to this


    323

    What's sad is that if this were a WHITE man acquitted, the blacks would be rioting in the street right now. Hell, they probably would've done that if R Kelly had been convicted, too. Juries are becoming afraid to convict black people I think.

  24. Forev says – reply to this


    324

    And there we go again, gosh, this is so disappointing. It’s a sad day when one loses total faith in the justice system that’s supposed to protect the innocent and bring justice. How is this any different then the justice system in any third world country where criminals get away with everything? He’s a criminal of the worse kind, a corruptor of children. I wonder how he would feel if a 31 year old was having sexual relationships with his 12 year old daughter. He’s a disgusting man, who illegally married a 15 year old when he was 28 years old…

    Truth be told, when things like this happen, it’s an embarrassment to call yourself an American. The values in this country have gone down the tubes, with all the chaos we’ve caused around the world, the one thing we had left, our “BLIND” justice system has forever been tainted.

    Are you sure he is not related to OJ????

  28. Yesse says – reply to this


    328

    Please I'm not shocked. I'm just waiting for the not guilty song he's going to write. It took them over 3 years to even trial him. If they wanted him bad enough they should've trialed him when it first happened. I'm happy for him.

  30. yo says – reply to this


    330

    WHAT THE FREAK!??!?!?! OMG Well..that pretty much tells the world if you're a celebrity in the USA you get away with shit or a lighter sentence…i.e. O.J. Simpson, Paris Hilton, Lohan, etc., etc., etc…….and the list goes on and on..there's justice for ya! (that sick bastard..will probably be back on the streets being a wanna be rapper. I hope he gets the crap kicked out of him….)

    Re: steph – the prosecution cant appeal a not guilty verdict. that would be double jeopardy. tried once.. ur done

  32. annie says – reply to this


    332

    what a load of crap!!!!!!!!!! it shows that if you are rich you can do whatever you want. Think about it………..michael Jackson had millions on top of millions and now he's broke………..can we pay off? Watch R. Kelly will be the next for Perez to report with money issues.

  33. ivy says – reply to this


    333

    omg!

    he is so guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. publi says – reply to this


    335

    Child molesters make me sick. I am so sick of celebrities getting acquitted on child molest charges. I hate R. Kelly. His music sucks, and he should be bent over in prison right about now. I turn off the radio whenever he comes on. Remember how he tried to marry Aaliyah when she was 15? Then he buried that story. He is a sick man. Karma will get him in the end.

  36. Colle says – reply to this


    336

    I live in Chicago. It is a well known fact that Kelly use to drive around the African American communities and try and pick up teenage girls to have sex with. He is a complete scumbag!!!

    Who fucking cares?? That 14 year old bitch said it wasn't her anyway. And 14 year olds are fucking whores today anyway, so you know she was fucking begging for it. Just look at Miley Cyrus. Fuck them for wasting taxpayers money even taking him to trial.

    That's some bullshit right there!
    You know his ass is guilty!
    Why in the hell did they do that?
    I guess it's all about who got money.
    GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!
    I bet if he did it again they would still say he wasn't guilty.
    Some people are so corrupt!

    I am so outraged, thats such bullshit!!!!
    now i guess he knows the white mans freedom,
    he must have had a really good legal team,
    and i hope they all will suffer the gulit of knowing
    that they just let a child preditor loose. fucking idiots!!
    i hope they will learn when he molests their children,
    maybe they will regret it then, assholes!!

    348

    Fucking. Bullshit. I wonder how much the members of the jury got paid off…



  49. 349

    I can't believe this. This is such fucking bullshit. That pedophile deserves to be in jail, getting ass-raped on a daily basis. But of course not. What an amazing legal system we have.

  53. 353

    impossible. he's very lucky. but my thoughts are either that being acquitted he will continue to do it, or hopefully this will make him stop. he's such an asshole, and he's kind of fallen off musically too. damn shame.

    ONCE AGAIN- if you are filthy rich, you can rape a child, decapitate your wife and her acquaintance, drive down the wrong side of a road completely out of your gourd AND NOT A GODDAMN THING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. There is no such thing as justice for the average person in this country- JUSTICE HAS BE BE BOUGHT!!!

    370

    Those claiming they like his music have a misconseption that it somehow translates into a permission to have sex with minors. WRONG.

    His status as a musician has nothing to do with the fact that he does enjoy the "Young" and in fact this is not the first report of him sleeping with a minor. He will get caught again (if he has a predisposition toward the young) the question is how many girls will end up having sex with him until that time?

    OR maybe he HAS learned his leason? Highly doubt it though.

    I knew he didn't do it and I'm happy that the jurors saw that too. Now lets go after all the real child molesters in the catholic churches. We all know that they're GUILTY.



  74. 374

    That's crap! A little girl gets peed on and all he gets is some free publicity? I hope OJ stabs him.

    378

    So is he not guilty or is he aquitted? It's not the same thing Perez. Aquitted means that the jury couldn't agree. Not Guilty is Not Guilty.



  79. 379

    I bet he is a relative of OJ… hmnnnn.

    Although he's had some shady past dealing (Aliah), but this whole process was brought up with the flimsiest of evidence. All the haters don't know two shits about what's been going on in the trial and want to get all defensive now that he's off. Ha Ha!

    394

    Re: unrea – That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Anyway, regardless of whether he is black or white, he was acquited…ACQUITED. Personally, I think he's a freak, and that he is guilty, but just like others who have been found innocent by A JURY OF THEIR PEERS, since he has been acquited, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I just hope that he has learned something from all of this and won't be so stupid again!
