R. Kelly to appear in federal court after decades of sexual trafficking suspicions
Fox News
Most people know him for "I Believe I Can Fly," the 1996 sing-along hit that became an inspirational anthem played at school graduations, weddings and in advertisements. Or possibly for a stinging parody by comedian Dave Chappelle.
The federal trial comes after years of frustration among women who say they were sexually abused by the 54-year old singer, who vehemently denies any wrongdoing. If the trial brings some satisfaction to women who say they were victims of Kelly’s alleged depravity "there’s also a feeling of ‘too little too late,’" said Jim DeRogatis, a music writer and college professor who authored a book on Kelly called "Soulless: The Case Against R. Kelly."More Related News
