R Kelly found guilty of all charges in his first trial

Apparently the "any other inmoral purpose" part was removed from the Mann Act about 35 years ago on account of it being ambiguous. This was the same law that allowed Jack Johnson to be arrested in the early 1900s and was said to have been enacted in part because of Johnson and his behaviour (marrying and sleeping with white women). 

The application of the law towards R Kelly seems to be actually in line with the modern purpose of the Mann Act. So hopefully he doesn't start claiming that he is a victim of racism like Jack Johnson actually was. Not that anyone would be listening to him if he did say anything.

He got 30 years.

He was shocked and appalled when he heard 30 years, but said he'd happily accept two 15s

 

 

(I'm sorry)

After his sentencing he said he was going to reveal a paedophile ring. Everyone in the courtroom thought he was going to start naming names, but he just pulled his trousers down and mooned the judge.

He's almost certainly gonna die in prison now. Before this trial, he wouldn't have got out until he was in his 80s.

Crazy he got away with it for so long, but then, how many times has that been said?
