I've been aware of the allegations against him for YEARS but he's never faced and charges or arrest.... and some of the details are quite HEINOUS. In this current climate especially where careers are destroyed (and rightfully so by the way!) for things a lot less heinous than what R. Kelly has done, he still flies under the radar.
