FACING THE MUSIC Inside twisted mind of R Kelly, the vile predator who raped kids, held them as sex slaves & made them call him ‘Daddy’.
A jury in New York convicted Kelly of racketeering and eight violations of an anti-sex-trafficking law.
He faces life in prison, when his sentence will be read out on May 4.
The court heard how his victims, some aged as young as 14 when he abused them, were choked and beaten and told to consume their own bodily fluids.
Previously his claims that his accusers were willing groupies and that he’d been the victim of child abuse had seen the 54-year-old musician remain at large for so long.
Sex slaves
Kelly, who sold more than 70 million records worldwide, was a powerful public figure who used his wealth to silence young women.
The controlling abuser was said to have confiscated the phones of girls, told them to call him ‘Daddy’ and punished them for breaking any of his rules.
The Grammy award winning sex offender, whose other hits include Bump & Grind and Sex Me, filmed them having sex so that he had a hold over them and ‘trained’ them to act a certain way.
Kelly’s crimes were rumoured for decades but it took the relentless pressure of #MeToo activists, campaigning journalists and the testimony of brave victims to bring down the R’n’B idol.
There has been a slow drip-drip of information coming out which revealed Kelly’s twisted nature.
