Warrant issued for inmate Kelly

A bench warrant was issued for singer R. Kelly after he failed to appear at a court hearing Thursday, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office in Minnesota said.

Kelly, whose legal name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was expected at the Hennepin County District Court, spokesman Chuck Laszewski said.

In the two-minute hearing, senior Hennepin County Attorney Judith Cole said no attorney had approached her office or filed a certificate of representation for Kelly.

The singer is facing two counts of engaging in prostitution with a person under 8 in Minnesota, officials said.

A bench warrant makes it non-voluntary for Kelly to show up in court next time.

A criminal complaint details an incident that occurred in July 2001 after a minor asked the singer for an autograph at a promotional event.

Kelly gave the girl, then 17, his autograph and a phone number, the complaint states. When she called, she was directed to his hotel in Minneapolis and was met by someone she believed was a male member of his staff.

The complaint says that when she met Kelly, the two made small talk before he gave her $200 to dance for him. After settling on the amount, she agreed. He took off her clothes and then his, and he touched her sexually while she danced, the documents say.

He gave the victim VIP tickets to his concert, the complaint says. That enabled her to attend the 18+ concert without paying or showing her ID.

Kelly faces separate charges in Illinois and New York.

The Illinois US attorney's office told the Hennepin County Attorney's Office that it will not make Kelly available to the county until after his federal case is finished, Cole said.

Kelly is being held in the Federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago on federal sex crime charges.

Kelly's initial trial date on 13 federal charges in Illinois has been set for April 27, 2020.

To be fair he fled after conviction and stay out of countries that would extradite. He isn't free for lack of trying.

Maybe kellz should take notes but he is broke.

If you're in a country that won't extradite, unless it's a national security issue where the US for example would use CIA and covert ops to apprehend the person, US law enforcement can't violate the sovereignty of another nation to arrest someone who violated their laws. The local law enforcement are responsible and so they rely on that country to send them back if they have an extradition treaty with them.

But countries like France put low priority on extradition of criminals to the US unless it was a major criminal like Osama Bin Laden because they disagree with capital punishment and just have a blanket default position of not extraditing.

Not to diminish the horrors of rape but the US government isn't going to use military and spies to capture a common criminal. They save that for shyt like criminals that committed terrorism or did something major to harm the standing of the United States. They don't consider a common rapist that important tbh.
