If the video if VHS, you know that it is old.
I will explain the second problem prosecutors are having after you read what CNN says is happening on the tape since they have viewed it.
CNN has seen the VHS tape that appears to show Kelly having sex with a girl who refers to her body parts as 14 years old. Avenatti, who is representing a man he calls a whistleblower against Kelly, says he handed the tape to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office in Chicago last weekend.
The newly unearthed footage, which lasts 42 minutes and 45 seconds, is clear and explicit.
There are two scenes on the video: one apparently in a living room and another in a bedroom. A naked man who appears to be R. Kelly is seen performing multiple sex acts with the girl. She is heard calling him “daddy” multiple times.
It is impossible to know her age just from the video. They both refer to her “14-year-old p***y.” Six times the girl refers to her genitalia as 14 years old.At one point, the man asks the girl to urinate. After she does, he urinates on her.
What is on the video mirrors some of the alleged acts for which Kelly was arrested for child pornography in 2002, when he was 35, and then acquitted six years later.
The problem as stated above is unless the girl/woman comes forward there is no way to know exactly how old she is. Knowing R Kelly’s history she is probably underage, but they have to be able to prove it. It has been a long time since anyone has recorded on VHS, so this tape is likely from early 2000s.
It appears eventually R Kelly is going to be caught, but they are going to need cooperation from an underage victim to put him behind bars.
