R. Kelly Trial To Proceed
The judge in R. Kelly’s child pornography case has denied his lawyers request to delay the case, allowing the jury selection to proceed and the singer to finally be trialled 6-years after his initial arrest.
Kelly is facing charges over a video, reportedly filmed in 2002, showing the 41-year-old allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
The singer’s lawyer, Ed Genson, requested the delay after an article appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times last Saturday (May 3), claiming that a "secret witness" states she had a three-way with the musician and the reportedly underage girl.
Judge Vincent Gaughan made the decision to proceed barring all reporters from the courtroom during jury selection, which is set to resume on Monday at 9am according to WBBM Chicago.
