Celebrity Justice
Witness -- R. Kelly Loves the Hardwood

Posted Jun 3rd 2008 8:11AM by TMZ Staff

That bombshell witness finally took the stand in the R. Kelly kiddie-porn trial -- and she said he's a baller!

Lisa Van Allen testified she and the Prince of Pee got down and dirty on film with the alleged victim on his personal b-ball court in Chicago when she was only 17, and she added that they did it in his log cabin-ish basement.

Of course, Van Allen's testimony took a big blow when she revealed that she sold the tape they made back to R.'s business manager for $20K. The defense gets its turn today.

4. They showed the video in court and freeze-framed to show the mole on his back in the video. All the lies about "it's not me" and now gone. The only quesstion left is: will the jury let another popular Black star off like they did O.J.? All it takes is one to say "it's the man putting us down" and refusing to send this child abuser to prison." Look at the hate-speach coming out of Obama's Chicago chucrch and you get what I'm talking about. Wrong is wrong no matter what color people are.

6. R. Kelly did not rape these girls. They spread their legs willingly. He may be a pedophile but these girls are also total SLUTS who should be embarrassed by their behavior. I'm totally against men having sex with underage girls. But, I'm also against underage girls consenting to have sex with grown men and not being held accountable. Who agrees to have sex with a grown man while being underage and then also allows him to videotape the act as well? They're just as sick as he is! Where were their parents while they were doing this? The law should be fair and punish the men and the slutty girls who screw them.

7. R Kelly's history with young women also marrying Aaliyah(RIP) shows he's a common run of the mill pedophile that needs to be locked up.....furthermore he needs some kind of pshychiatric help! This trial is not judging his music but him as a person this goes to show you may have a talent and be a star but if you suck as a person you can loose it all.

8. The state rested their case yesterday right after this witness. There is no court today, the defense starts tomorrow. The prosecution never established exactly how old the girl in the tape was, but if the jury believes numerous witnesses she was between 12 and 15. The defense screwed themselves over by throwing so many different defenses out there... The mole, the laughable 'R. Kelly's face was digitally added to the body', etc... Too bad the prosecution couldn't bring in any other past sexual encounter occurances into the case, and too bad the Florida prosecutors had to drop the charges because they acted without a valid warrant.

9. I think I believe all the witness' in this case. I heard that he was having a relationship with Alliyah when she first came on the scene long ago, way before she died When she was like 15 or so. HE LIKES YOUNG GIRLS. They might have been willing, But is still wrong. VERY WRONG. He just got caught.

10. VC: Who agrees to have sex with a grown man while being underage and then also allows him to videotape the act as well?

I think you answered your own question in the same sentence. The girls should not be punished like an adult either. They are not adults. They may spread their legs like one, but they think like a child. Their parents should be held accountable for their childrens behavior.

11. Unbelievable that the black community,the hip hop people,can defend the despicable actions of this lowlife piece of crap.
