Howd he cover it up for so long ? It wasn’t covered up. Everyone knows. He just escaped getting arrested. Paid off families. The girl he peed on...her father plays guitar for him sometimes. Community pressure might get him arrested now tho. I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually blasts himself. The families of these girls and the ppl in Kelly’s inner circle that helps him get away with all this are just as guilty imo. The girl he peed on is on tape. Aaliyah was 15 when they got married. One of her songs was “Age ain’t nuthin but a number”, that Kelly wrote and produced.

Kelly is sick and he’s been telling us all along in his music what he’s been up to.

Here's a couple of clips from the docuseries....

HBO Announces Leaving Neverland Premiere Dates

On the heels of the deeply disturbing Surviving R. Kelly, HBO’s upcoming documentary Leaving Neverland has the very real potential to dethrone another one of our childhood heroes.

Centered around Michael’s alleged sexual abuse of two young boys, 10-year-old James “Jimmy” Safechuck and seven-year-old Wade Robson, the documentary—helmed by Emmy-nominated director Dan Reed—has been dismissed as a baseless “public lynching” by the Jackson family ahead of its release.

But while millions of fans of the Thriller maker wait with bated breath, HBO has announced the premiere dates for what promises to be must-see TV.
The two-part documentary LEAVING NEVERLAND explores the separate but parallel experiences of two young boys, James “Jimmy” Safechuck, at age ten, and Wade Robson, at age seven, both of whom were befriended by Michael Jackson. They and their families were invited into his wondrous world, entranced by the singer’s fairy-tale existence as his career reached its peak.
Through gut-wrenching interviews with Safechuck, now 37, and Robson, now 41, as well as their mothers, wives and siblings, LEAVING NEVERLAND crafts a portrait of sustained abuse, exploring the complicated feelings that led both men to confront their experiences after both had a young son of their own.
Produced and directed by Dan Reed (HBO’s Emmy®-nominated “Three Days of Terror: The Charlie Hebdo Attacks” and “Terror at the Mall”), the first part of LEAVING NEVERLAND debuts SUNDAY, MARCH 3 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), followed by the second part the following night, MONDAY, MARCH 4 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.​
Of additional note, the documentary will also be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, HBO On Demand and partners’ streaming platforms.
 
CNN has seen tape Avenatti says shows R. Kelly having sex with underage girl
By Sara Sidner, CNN

Updated at 12:58 PM ET, Thu February 14, 2019

Editor's Note:This story contains language and descriptions that may be upsetting to some readers.

(CNN) — Prosecutors investigating R. Kelly are looking into a newly surfaced video featuring the R&B superstar, lawyer Michael Avenatti told CNN.
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.

"My client knows the identity of the girl and R. Kelly. He identified the two of them on the videotape. He worked for and has known R. Kelly for decades and he met the girl on a number of occasions," Avenatti said.
On Thursday, Avenatti tweeted out a statement describing the tape.

Steve Greenberg, Kelly's attorney, told CNN he had not heard of the development.

"We are unaware of any new information involving Mr. Kelly," he told CNN. "We have not been contacted by anyone. We have not been informed about any new information by anyone and we have not been contacted by law enforcement."

Tandra R. Simonton, chief communications officer for the State's Attorney's Office said: "We cannot confirm or deny an investigation."

What's on the tape
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.

R. Kelly waves to supporters after he was acquitted of child pornography charges.

That case centered on another video involving a man having sex with a girl who prosecutors said was as young as 13 years old, media reports said.

Much was made at the trial about the identity of the man on the tape and whether an identifying mole on Kelly was visible on that video.

In the new video reviewed by CNN, a small mole can be seen on the man's back just to the left of his spine.

Kelly has been associated with claims of sexual misconduct with minors and other crimes for more than two decades. He has been sued by multiple women accusing him of having sex with them when they were underage.

He has denied the accusations and all cases, with the exception of the trial where he was acquitted, have been settled out of court.

And while he is one of the most successful R&B acts in history, there has been a growing movement against him.

Music industry colleagues and former fans backed a #MuteRKelly campaign to stop his music being played.

Protesters outside R. Kelly's studio in Chicago call for a boycott of his music.
In July 2017, Buzzfeed published an explosive article outlining claims that Kelly was holding a group of adult women against their will as part of what some of their parents say was a "cult."

A group of people cited in the article claimed that their daughters, ages 18 to 31, were a part of an entourage of at least six women attached to Kelly.
Joycelyn Savage, one of the young women, denied those claims and asked her parents, via a video shared with TMZ, to stop speaking out about her relationship with Kelly.

In January 2019, the release of a docuseries called "Surviving R. Kelly" on Lifetime television helped boost the public campaign against him.

In that series women said they were kept in abusive sexual relationships.

After the series aired, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx urged potential victims or witnesses to speak to police.

At the same time, Kelly's attorney, Greenberg, told CNN that his client "has done nothing wrong ... Someone with an agenda has done a hit piece," Greenberg said of the docuseries. "(Kelly's) out in public. He's not hiding. There's no secret compound with sex slaves."
