This news is really weird to me because I could have sworn I heard about this guy getting busted back in like the late 90s or early 2000s. People were straight up using "R Kelly" as a synonym for pedo. Is this one of those Berenstain Bears moments? Why is this happening again now?

I would blow Dane Cook posted:

He was never convicted back then. The buzzfeed article from 2017 brought it all back to the surface. The tv documentary called Surviving R Kelly is where it really picked up steam.

So it looks like in 2004, right as it was all coming to a head, some brain genius judge not only dropped all charges against Kelly but even denied the request for a search warrant due to lack of sufficient evidence, despite literal photographic evidence of an underage rape taking place provided by one of the victims

Very cool
