TLAW, I agree TOTALLY with your statement. SURE we have a younger generation of "fast-a**" girls/teens. WITHOUT A DOUBT they literally THROW themselves at stars and older men. OF COURSE they give CONSENT to participate in sex and other sexual activities with these stars and older men. I don't doubt this nor do I debate it. BUUUUUTTTT... these stars and older men HAVETO remember that we have a STATUTORY RAPE LAW and on top of THAT they must remember that THEY are supposed to be the WISER of the two. Thus they are EXPECTED to execute what our society calls GOOD JUDGEMENT and MORAL OBLIGATION.
No, I'm not a judge nor am I perfect. But I've ALWAYS known not to do no stuff like THAT (and I NEVER have). I WILL say this, I believe deep in my heart that R. Kelly KNEW!!! This is a man that was RAISED in the WORD, so he KNEW whether he was doing right or wrong. He's not retarded or dumb. He's a VERY street-smart man. So, even if those young girls lied about their ages, I believe that he was able to tell.
Plain and simple, R. Kelly got caught with his "draws" down (LITERALLY)!!!!
He's like a mouse caught in a trap... AROUND THE NECK!!! All I can say is BETTER HIM THAN ME!!!!
