How the hell would that dude just happen to come across such a tape and have no clue where it came from?!

Just happens to have child porn in his garage? Yeah right, I'm going to guess the reality is that in the past he was bashing one out to underage girls being raped and abused and now thinks he can make a quick buck or two and didn't think it through before going public.

He's definitely going to prison this time around but should we mute his music? I mean yeah he's a paedophile, serial abuser and not 100% in the head and he deserves to go to prison. But does his music deserve to never be heard again?

For those that don't know he's had sex with 14 year olds for like 20 years now. Even pee'd on them. Kept them locked up. Force them to do whatever they are told and call him daddy.

And your irrefutable evidence for all of this is where?

the fact he married a 15 year old illegally and forged papers to say she was 18 this was nearly 30 years ago too.

a member of his entourage also stated on the record r kelly told him whilst extremely emotional that he thought he had gotten her pregnant when she was 14.

also the video of him having sex and peeing on an underage girl where his lawyer said it was simply a person that looked like him and could even be his brother but it wasn't him.

If he rents or had bought the house and the old owners had left stuff behind, or even bought a box of random tapes at some point, at one time you could buy random tapes and discs quite cheaply to try and reuse or because a label might suggest it had some good software or films on (there was also a market for second hand record able tapes for distribution of things like TV episodes*).

Don't forget "storage locker" clearance is also a thing in the US, so he may have got boxes from that which he's not gone through, or the previous owner/renter of the property might have done.

It sounds odd but I'm going to guess he's not quite so stupid as to go to the police with underage porn he's found if he's got a collection of it, so there are probably details that aren't getting reported but that the police will likely have checked up on/his lawyers have checked out to make sure he's acting legally.
It would be an absolutely huge coincidence though, but then again all sorts of oddities have turned up in rental properties and house/storage clearances.


*I remember at some of the computer fairs, and a lot of the comic fairs there used to be that one stall selling things like episodes of the current season of Buffy, or Star Trek recorded from the US broadcasts months before we got them here (often on tapes that had obviously been used before).

There’s also the measure of doubt in figuring out age, it’s usually rather obvious... but.

There’s plenty of cases in this country alone about instances of underage people abusing fake/sibling licenses to get into clubs or to prove age to witless idiots. I wouldn’t entirely blame the guy, but if there’s doubt, the answer should be no.

Yeah, I was exaggerating with the "how the hell" bit. I wasn't thinking he would be that stupid, but maybe somehow protecting someone, even a female relative who simply doesn't want to be in the press and doesn't care about a payout, as unlikely as that seems in these times.

Been blasting I Believe I can fly and The Worlds Greatest all day! Obviously he's a bit of a turd but his music is amazingly good no matter what he did.

I'd never even heard of him until a few days back when the girlfriend of a mate of mine mentioned him in passing and then made us watch what seemed to be about 300 parts of some comedy song on YouTube.

What? how have you never heard of R Kelly? do you live under a rock? or are you very young?

edit: post removed. It really isn't fair to mention someone's name in a thread like this just because the words "fish fingers" got thrown randomly in to the mix. :o
