The arrests of “alleged” perverts, corrupt officials, sex traffickers and all other sorts of unsavory “celebrities” is now becoming a daily event!
The flavor du jour?
‘Singer’ (and I do put that in air quotes) R. Kelly, who was arrested today on a THIRTEEN count indictment, alleging some truly horrific crimes.
Take a look folks:
So, in case you haven't been keeping track, here are the big ones in just the past month:
- NXIVM sex cult and founder Keith Raniere and actress Alison Mack
- Jeffrey Epstein
- R. Kelly
- ICE Raids
Next?
Who knows, but here's my short list of possible candidates:
- Bill Clinton
- Hillary Clinton
- Barack Obama
- Podesta Brothers
- Loretta Lynch
- Eric Holder
- James Comey
- James Clapper
- John Brennan
Who would you add to the list of possible next arrests?
Getting back to R. Kelly, here's what the AP had to say:
Singer R. Kelly, already facing sexual abuse charges brought by Illinois prosecutors, was arrested in Chicago Thursday on a federal grand jury indictment listing 13 counts including sex crimes and obstruction of justice.
U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman Joseph Fitzpatrick said the R&B singer was taken into custody about 7 p.m. local time and was being held by federal authorities. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, Kelly is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Chicago.
He was arrested after the indictment was handed down earlier Thursday in federal court for the Northern District of Illinois.
“The counts include child porn, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice,” Fitzpatrick said, adding that further details would be released Friday.
The arrest was the second time this year that Kelly has been taken into custody in Chicago on sex charges. The 52-year-old Grammy winner, whose real name is Robert Kelly, was arrested in February on 10 counts in Illinois involving four women, three of whom were minors when the alleged abuse occurred. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and was released on bail.
Then on May 30, Cook County prosecutors added 11 more sex-related counts involving one of the women who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was underage.
Darrell Johnson, a publicist for Kelly, said he planned to deliver a statement about the latest developments at a Friday morning news conference in Atlanta. He declined to comment ahead of that time.
Kelly’s attorneys could not immediately be reached for comment on the federal charges. Fitzpatrick said Kelly’s arraignment date and time had not yet been set.
Kelly has faced mounting legal troubles this year after Lifetime aired a documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” which revisited allegations of sexual abuse of girls. The series followed the BBC’s “R Kelly: Sex, Girls & Videotapes,” released in 2018, that alleged the singer was holding women against their will and running a “sex cult.”
Don't miss that last part, folks.
The common thread in all of these arrests seems to be that they're not just isolated incidents or even "just" sexual assault.
The common thread seems to be running sex cults!
And holding women against their will.
And sex trafficking!
This stuff runs WAY deeper than what we've been told, it seems like.
Wow, just sick.
As Mark Taylor says, "Time is up for those who are corrupt!"
