A former tour manager for R. Kelly reluctantly testified that he paid a $500 bribe to a government worker to get the singer Aaliyah a fake identification card so Kelly could secretly marry her when she was 15 years old.

that after he went into a Chicago-area welfare office in 1994, he brazenly approached an employee who was taking ID photos.

Prosecutors say Kelly wanted to use the marriage, which was later annulled, to shield himself from criminal charges related to having sex with a minor and to prevent her from testifying against him.Aaliyah, whose full name was Aaliyah Dana Haughton, worked with Kelly, who wrote and produced her 1994 debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number.” She died in a plane crash in 2001 at age 22.

They rushed back to Chicago after a concert in another city so they could arrange the marriage meant “to protect him and Aaliyah,” Smith said. He said he told Kelly, “‘I know how to get her an ID,’ and that’s what I did.”

That’s the thing the manager made the bribe & R Kelly did not request him to do it.

they are leaving no stone unturned.....

I think this is why her family didn't want to release the music. Bc they knew this would start coming back up and someone who was responsible for Aaliyah is going to have to answer some questions around this

He also said the ID didn't have a birthdate on it. ' it was like a library card.' Makes no sense.

This is appalling & alarming. The ‘adults’ who facilitated Mr. Kelly’s deviancy need 2b locked up. They’re as guilty as he, if not more so for failing to protect his victims. I hope they took a very good at the cause of crash that killed Aliyah. Wouldn’t put it past Mr. Kelly.

It's reported 'he did it after believing he was being cut out of Kelly's inner circle.' This tells me he added in an underage sex scandle & will do anything for a dollar and to save face.

If I gave 2 shits about R Kelly, this might be interesting…. But I don’t

What is this headline?

HelloMocha 🥴😐

Electric Chair.

Go to any DMV and you will find someone willing to make $500 or more/less for fake id’s, registration, inspection stickers etc. Rkelly has herpes and passed on to a 16yr old girl. His dr testified Kelly was treated for STD’s diagnosed 2007 wth herpes! Predator over 25yrs!

Wow! Ugh! When do we hear from her parents?

As terrible as this is, her mother is number one responsible, he job is to protect her children and she pimped this girl out to make her famous. Sold her soul to the devil.

Her Moms gots some explaining to do.

Honestly I feel like every person who aided in abetting this abuse of all of these young girls should be charged also. Reluctantly? Deplorable.

Lol

Reluctantly testified that he committed felonies that aided in the commission of subsequent felonies including child assault. He was cuffed thereafter?

Where is the proof!!
