Judge Vincent Gaughan announced today from the Criminal Courts Building in Chicago that R. Kelly will indeed have his day in court, and it’s going to be a lot sooner than you think. The trial will begin September 17.
Cook County prosecutors charged Kelly with multiple counts of child pornography for allegedly having sex with an underage minor and then videotaping the experience.
He has consistently maintained that he is not the man on tape and that he is innocent of all charges.
