OK, why is a know nothing like me the person creating a thread about this troubling documentary about a music legend? I would expect some of you musically interested or you "in the community" to be the first to comment.

Troubling.

I heard about the piss video and it had almost become a running joke about the guy, which diminished from the criminal nature. I didn't realize this guy was basically running sadistic sex farms in at least two states.

I watched this on Friday having a couple of hours with the house empty. I couldn't stomach much more and it definitely was not appropriate for children when they returned to the house.

How are parents not storming the gates on his homes?

Many have known about him since the eighties. As big a pedophile as Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. And weird as hell since high school. Where he was barred from returning to since then.

Outrage for ratings...

I can't watch stuff like that on TV. But my opinion was that he should have gone to jail before, but the criminal justice messed up.

yep, back in the mid 90s I lived about 100 feet away from R Kelly's piss house in the Sheffield/Diversey area. Used to point it out to people all the time as part of the neighborhood tour.

I disagree with you about the outrage. There were a lot of things that weren't known and quite frankly the defenses I've seen for him have made me sick. Some have come from people I really respect.

There's like a separate legal universe for politicians, priests, and celebrities. That seems to have changed very slightly over the past couple of years, but nothing like what it needs to be.

They do, many have. Then R Kelly dangles a bag of cash (or cars or houses or trips to Europe) in exchange for shutting up and going away and many/most/all? so far have taken the money and stfu.

Fwiw, I actually knew him a little wayback when. Actually know one of his exes from before he dumped her for age. And where he went trolling for ever younger replacements. Ask your sister, she probably heard about it as well.

But his fans dismissed it as hating.

He's a Democrat.

And for much of the last 30 years, a suburbanite in a gated community who probably likes crappy pizza as well.

He got a lot of lounges shut down with his weekend tour.

Well,The way the law is structured now. No probation or parole. It is straight jail time. If He gets the Predator label he is going to go to Big Muddy,As far south in the state as you can go. Plus, he will have a very hard time to get out when his time is due, they can literally hold him for an indefinite length of time. Now where the real problem for him is going to come in is if the morons in the SA office want to invite the Feds in on Child Porn and the Mann act.
