Viewer Comments: Is R. Kelly Guilty Or Innocent?

  We asked viewers if you think R. Kelly is guilty of child pornography. Here are some of your responses: 

I definitely think that he's guilty. Too much evidence, too many identifications, too late for the Pied Piper of R&B. --Kim W.

It's sick how people think it's ok because it happened 5 years ago. Either take him to jail or let him play "Godfather" to your child (rolling eyes). Take this highly over rated pervert to prison. --Danielle

I think he isn't guilty. I believe someone is trying to frame him... --Gracial Harris

omg yes. People are acting like he is the second messiah coming. It is ridiculous how society puts these stars on a pedestal when really they are only human like us. Yes I believe hes guilty. --Donna

Divided: Because of some news I heard about one lady that worked for him. He raised her daughter and changed her. Then she turns 18 and he suppossedly slept with her. --Emanuel Samuels

I dont think (he's guilty) but even if he is it's been like 5 years now, I think it's time to drop it. It is obviously not getting anywhere. If you let O.J. and Michael Jackson go then you should let R. Kelly go. --Jessica

Guilty because it is him in the video and he has settled numerous lawsuits alleging inappropriate relations with young girls. --Phillip Thomas

If the incident with R. Kelly happened a year ago, he would be guilty and serving time. But, since this happened so many years ago, and even with the great technology we have today, I have a feeling that he is going to be found not guilty. Too bad they did not get any DNA evidence for this case. If they had that he goes to jail. --Joe

Guilty because he was always hanging out that the Rock and Roll McDonald's stealing peoples prom date --Angel Perez

Not Guilty. The state is not telling the truth. This is about money. --Steven Jones

Hell yeah he's guilty!! I've seen that tape and i'm certain its him!!! --Samson

R. Kelly is not guilty- the girl wasn't raped, nor a virgin. She knew what she was doing. --Toya

This man is definitely guilty. He is well known for his preference of YOUNG women in Chicago. --Anonymous

I believe he is guilty. This type of behavior is a habit for him. He (R. Kelly)has fallen out with other people for doing the same thing with their underage relatives and/or friends. This time someone came after him. --Anonymous

I don't think that he's guilty. I think that the pictures of the man's back should speak right there. No one's going to put make up over it, too sweaty to keep it on. I also think that they lady that claims that she had sex with them both should get tried too. So what if she's speaking against him, she was involved too. She could have saved the little girl, but instead acted. And if this is all a lie to get money, or because he wouldn't give her money based on it not being true, she needs to get aressted! She told lies in court. Also, there is a reason why there are people saying it's him, that tried to get money. No judgment should be based off of that. --Niki

Yes he is guilty, how did they get the exact background from his place on the video, why would the girl lie on him claiming a threesome, what did she get out of it nothing, why didn't more of her family members come out and say that wasn't her, maybe because it was. For the most part why didn't he testify if he is not guilty. He is sick, just listen to his songs. I hope they give the child molesting purvert what he deserves in jail!!!GUILTY – Ms. Charm

Don't know Don't care - Don Smith

NO – Jennifer

Well 1st let me say i have been a jury twice, and without a resonable doubt in my mind i would have threw this case out. Not because he's R Kelly but because you have to have evidence this piece of tape has went around the world and back. And if it was R. Kelly why in the world would the parents deny anything like that. You have to have a victim in this case if she says it's not her and he says it's not him . What do you have? If this took place why did this take from 2002. this is 2008 if knew a grown man was having a affair or whatever you want to call it with my young sister or niece, i do not care how much this man make. He would be in jail. If it was this man why would anybody hold something like this for so long and not say anything until you were called on the stand. If he goes to jail for this i think those that knew something like this was going on should go right along with him. Talk about holding evidence for 6 years. You can't convict someone if there is no alleged victim – Latonia

I believe that he guilty. I believe this because he would not testify on his behalf. I believe when you can not defend yourself it is because you will pugure yourself on the stand. – Emily

YES!!!! Why? Because if he was innocent he would get up on that stand and prove his innocence.... Hell if Michael Jackson got off, he better, - khrissy

I feel he is guilty because he has a history of wanting to be with under age girls – Carliss Pattie

No,b/c the supposed victim says it's not her in the tape, too much time has passed, not enough witnesses,and the star witness has a not so clean background. – Lashoda Wilson

ABSOLUTELY!! I saw the tape and STEVIE WONDER HIMSELF can see that its him... its disgusting that he can even DARE to attempt to say it wasnt him!! – chris tate

no I don't think R kelly is guilty. Reason being the prosecution hasn't proven reasonable cause that R Kelly was on that tape. the witnesses to even corroborate that that wasn't the girl on the tape. We need to leave Rkelly alone and worry about other issues such as rising of gas prices, bringing the troops from iraq, money for education,global warming and other very important issues. R kelly is just the lest of our problems right now. We need to focus on the main issues that are plaquing us. – janea

guilty, it is him on the tapes,he has done this before, why are we not concerned about the idea of this grown mans perferance of children to suit his sexual needs, if he is found not guilty it will not be that he is innocent,but because he is who he is. – irma Courtney
