Salvador1:He shouldn't have an opinion? |
Towncrier007:Some of you are very foolish or maybe even mad. Every time someone has a different opinion from you , you accuse the person of being paid. Are you saying there would be nobody voting for the opposing candidate if they aren't induced? Think about what you are about to say. |

Disgraced 55-year-old R&B star R. Kelly has been found guilty of child sexual abuse in his second federal trial. The jury convicted the 55-year-old on six out of 13 counts after a four-week case in his hometown of Chicago. He was acquitted of fixing a state trial on child pornography charges in 2008. Last year the Bump n' Grind singer was convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering in New York. He was later sentenced to 30 years in jail. Warning: This article contains details readers may find upsetting. The latest verdict is expected to add years to his incarceration. The artist, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was found guilty on Wednesday of three counts of enticing minors for sex and three counts of producing child sexual imagery. The jury did not find him guilty of obstructing justice relating to his 2008 trial, which ended in acquittal. Two of his former associates, who were also accused of fixing the 2008 trial, were on trial with him, but were acquitted of all charges. The thorn in R. Kelly's side The history of allegations against R. Kelly The 2008 trial centred on a 30-minute video of Kelly abusing a 14-year-old girl. The victim - known by the pseudonym "Jane" - declined to testify in court 14 years ago and jurors ultimately acquitted him on all counts. But Jane, now 37 years old, testified last month that she is the person in that footage. She said Kelly had sexually abused her hundreds of times before she turned 18. That tape and two others were shown to jurors during the trial. Four other women accused the singer of abusing them as children, and more than 30 witnesses testified. During Monday's closing arguments - which featured graphic descriptions of child abuse - one juror suffered a panic attack. She was dismissed and replaced with an alternate juror. Assistant US Attorney Elizabeth Pozolo described how the video shows Kelly urinating on the girl. "That degrading act is forever captured on that video," she said, adding: "That abuse is forever memorialised." "Who does that?" she continued. "Who uses a 14-year-old child to film a video like this? This man. Robert Kelly." After the verdict was read Kelly's lawyer Jennifer Bonjean criticised prosecutors, who she said had "charged counts that they couldn't win". She added that jurors had done their jobs by acquitting Kelly of half the charges. "Obviously we are not celebrating a win, but are happy the jury looked at each count," said Ms Bonjean. At Kelly's New York trial last September, jurors heard how he trafficked women for sexual abuse between different US states, assisted by managers, security guards and other members of his entourage. US media have noted that the 2021 conviction marked the first time since the #MeToo movement that black female accusers had taken centre stage in a major sex abuse trial. The court also heard last year how Kelly had illegally obtained paperwork to marry singer Aaliyah when she was 15 in 1994, seven years before she died in a plane crash. The certificate, leaked at the time, listed Aaliyah's age as 18. The marriage was annulled months later. Kelly is a Grammy-winning singer and songwriter who rose from poverty to produce hits like Ignition (Remix) and the hugely popular 1996 anthem I Believe I Can Fly. He is still facing state charges of aggravated sexual abuse in Illinois and prostitution and solicitation charges in Minnesota. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62909703

Simplythebest:A gun and cutlass are the same. |
Simplythebest:I don't see where you are coming from. Armed robbery is a grievous crime and should not in anyway be compared with pen robbery. Yrs, politicians, yahoo boys, corrupt civil servants and lecturers should be severely dealt with but their crimes are significantly different. |
Simplythebest:You do know it is no different from using a gun to rob. Intent is clear. |
Kingozymandias:I'm sure he's working but who people hate dem don hate am already be dat. |
Corridon:You failed society. |

Is this not the man begging for money? |
Ofolete:In 2012? Stop the mpuru mmiri. |
I don't want to hear xenophobia. Why can't Nigerians simply be law-abiding citizens? Sekondi is actually a serene environment and Nigerians should stop despoiling and poluuting places they visit. |
Obi would even tell you he was taking money from his own account to balance the expenses. Go and verify.

Let's be honest, he may have made his cheddar but they dressed him like a clown. |
DamnnNiggarr:You are still on this ?

DamnnNiggarr:Vanguard has overruled itself by updating us with the latest information. For 20 years, pensioners have been owed in Anambra state. Shame. |
DamnnNiggarr:What are you saying? I told you Vanguard reported that even though he never said it. You believed Vanguard then so you must believe Vanguard now. Vanguard is the source of all truth in politics. |
