Interesting fact: R. Kelly wasn't charged with or convicted of sexual assault.

He was charged with racketeering and violation of the Mann Act.

This was a very complicated but well-done prosecution.

It was more than a few months - and they had video.

There were always rumors, even decades ago.

4. Exactly

Rumors and "we know he did something" isn't sufficient to support an indictment and prosecution. Investigations take time.
