After six years of waiting, we finally get to see the fate of what happens to R&B singer, "Bump n' Grind", Robert Kelly (a/k/a R. Kelly.)
If you aren't familiar with the case, it is alleged that Mr. Kelly has a penchant for younger women (like 13?) and has a urination fetish. In the instant case, R. Kelly is charged with videotaping a sex act with a-then-13-year old girl while urinating on her. The girl, now in her mid-twenties, denies that she was the girl on the tape.
The prosecution has a long battle ahead. The defense's arugment lies on the fact that the witness/victim denounces the crime ever occurred, including a blurry video of a man who the defense claims "looks like" R. Kelly, but is not, and therefore cannot be proved that it is R. Kelly.
However, the prosecution has a witness, another girl who claimed to be there during the alleged act, also now in her mid-twenties, claiming hthe girl who is 'denying is lying'.
Should be interesting. In a sick "E True Hollywood Story" way.

CHICAGO (AP) - A juror in R&B star R. Kelly's child pornography was dismissed this morning after she complained that sitting on the panel would leave her unable to pay her bills.
The woman told a judge that she only has 30 hours of vacation time at her job and wouldn't be paid for serving on the jury after that time expires.
She says she'd be unable to pay attention to her jury duties because of concern over their financial implication.
She's being replaced by 1 of 4 alternate jurors.
Kelly's accused of videotaping himself having sex with a female as young as 13. The 41-year-old singer pleaded not guilty and faces up to 15 years if convicted.
Opening statements are set to begin today.
