It’s just like what we learned from the 80s with child molesters in the neighborhoods. You just don’t think humans are capable of doing what they’re doing until they do it.
In this case he’s a public figure doing this in front of the world. There’s no precedent to say “hold up, this is definitely wrong”. Especially during this era where every label had children singing and being managed by adults. Prince & Quincy Jones were pushing Tevin Campbell, the later also had a young Tamia. Jermaine had Kriss Kross out there. Mike Bivens had ABC.
Sometimes we have to see evil to know it’s there. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m hindsight it’s plain as day. But back then it was like “they might be playing”.

17 is the age of consent in multiple US states.
Aaliyah debut album “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number” comes out when she was 14. And she had been working with R Kelly since 12. Kelly is caught having sex with Aaliyah at 15. It safe to say their first time together happened prior to that, giving us a possible age range of 12-14.
fukking a 17yr old as a grown man is creepy. fukking a 13-14yr old as a grown man is straight up predatory behavior.
