R Kelly acquitted
16 June 2008
R&B star R KELLY's six-year child pornography hell is over - the singer has been acquitted of all 14 counts against him in a Chicago, Illinois court.
Jurors in the case did not believe the man they saw having sex with a 13 year old on a 10-year-old sex tape was Kelly.
The singer and the 23-year-old woman alleged to be the girl on the sex tape maintained they weren't the people in the grainy footage.
Although it took six years for the case to come to trial, following a number of delays, it took just two weeks of testimony and eight hours of deliberation for the members of the jury to find Kelly not guilty.
