R-Kelly identified in porn video
p2pnet news | Crime:- It’s the R-Kelly trial, Day Eight, and someone else has identified him as The Man in the Sex Flick.
“The young girl who allegedly appears in a sex video with R. Kelly visited the R&B star’s recording studio regularly, did her homework there and once brought an overnight bag, Kelly’s former personal assistant testified Tuesday,” says the Chicago Sun-Times.
Kelly is pleading not guilty to kiddie porn charges.
“Lindsey Perryman, now a recording company executive, said she met the girl at Chicago Trax Recording Studio one night in 1999 as the girl arrived with her parents and brother,” says the story, going on:
“She had a pillow and an overnight bag with her. She’d, “come there after school and do her homework.”
Perryman “worked sporadically” for Kelly for seven years, says MTV, continuing she told the court she’s “110 percent” certain the video tape features R-Kelly, “and the underage girl in question”.
Initially, the story says, “Perryman testified to Kelly being a great employer and said that she had arranged meetings between him and the young girl in question on a number of occasions but was unaware of any inappropriate behaviour until viewing the tape.
“After watching the footage Perryman commented ‘I was shocked … I was disturbed. I didn’t want to see any of this’.”
However, cross-examined by defense lawyer Marc Martin, “Perryman admitted she could not identify either of them the first time she saw the tape,” says the Sun-Times.
“I was in shock,” it has her saying. “I wanted to be 100 percent sure” before making the identifications.
R Kelly faces 14 counts of child pornography; seven for directing, seven for producing, says MTV, adding:
“This could result in 15 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.”
And if he’s convicted, he’ll have to register as a sex offender, says the post.

14 counts of child pornography and he might get 15 years in jail if convicted? I’ve read of married men being given up to 50 years in prison for just 2-3 counts of CP…

That’s how fucked up our justice system is, celebrities rarely have to serve the same amount of time as you or I would.

It’s messed up that a normal person would be given such a sentence. I know the prevailing attitude is that anyone who would look at erotic/X-rated pics of kids should be shot, but if that’s all they’re doing, I don’t think they deserve to have their lives ruined. Especially considering that 30 years or so ago, CP wasn’t even illegal (from everything I’ve read). Also, when you consider that pictures of 17 year olds are legal in other countries, but considered CP here, the idea of being locked up for essentially the rest of your life for having them becomes even more outrageous.
I used to know a guy who had some of Traci Lords’s old movies. He liked them because of Traci herself, not because she was underage in them. Lots of guys liked Traci back when she was making adult movies. If the police had found out that he had them, he would have been locked up and become a registered sex offender. Ridiculous.
