p2pnet - rss feed: R-Kelly child pornography trial continues
p2pnet news | Crime:- “I am not your sweetie!”
That, says the Chicago Sun-Times, is what Ed Genson, defending R-Kelly in a kiddie porn trial, “bellowed” when R&B singer Stephanie “Sparkle” Edwards addressed him thus.
In what seems to be turning into more of a farce than a genuine trial into whether or not Kelly, the “undisputed king of R&B,” according to his MySpace page, appears in a sex tape featuring an underage child.
“Wearing hoop earrings and facial glitter,” R&B singer Stephanie ‘Sparkle’ Edwards “clashed” with Edwards, who’d accused her of testifying against R-Kelly for revenge and money, says the story.
Edwards, “became the latest witness to identify the girl in the tape and say she was 13 or 14 when it was made,” it states, going on:
“Kelly, an R&B superstar who helped Edwards’ career, is charged with child pornography and has pleaded not guilty.”
During Genson’s cross-examination of Edwards, she sarcastically called the 66-year-old lawyer “Sweetie,” says the Chicago Sun-Times.
Edwards became the latest witness to identify the girl in the tape and say she was 13 or 14 when it was made, it says.
Yesterday, “Another woman identified both the alleged victim and R. Kelly in the singer’s sex tape in court today, testifying the girl was a minor when the recording was made,” says E! Online, adding:
“Audrey Hampton, a 23-year-old student at the University of Wisconsin, said she played basketball with the girl and went to school with her for several years.
“There’s no question” that’s her friend, the story has her saying, also stating she recognized her face, voice and some of her mannerisms, such as “the way she licked the bottom of her lip.”
But, she admitted under cross-examination she couldn’t recognize her friend’s body as such, says the story.

I haven’t seen the evidence. Can we get a copy of the tape? Guilty or not, his life will be ruined henceforth. It will not only affect album sales, but his whole life and career. He will be viewed with suspicion, malice and sanction. His movements will be restricted especially from having any involvement with children. Too bad if he loves kids or wanted to be a teacher.
Being a public figure guarantees that everyone will hear of it. Too sad for the innocent. Look at Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson. Both were acquitted, but that doesn’t mean they were innocent or that people will believe they are.
Would you send your boys to MJs farm for a holiday or let him mind them? You’d have a screw loose if you did.
Hmm, MJ, OJ. RK is not from NJ? Then there was GG

R Kelly seems to get alot of flack like this. How old was Aaliyah when he married her?
It seems he has a thing for the young’n’s. Poor, poor, girls.
Perhaps he should begin to consider searching for a girl who acts young but isn’t? -rofl-

im kind of surprised his lawyers havent tried to get it thrown out of court due to his right to a speedy trial not being given. Unless its been the defense causing all the delays.
