He believed he could fly…to hell.

Ding dong the witch is going to prison. R Kelly is going to serve the next 30 years of his life in prison, and when he gets out of that one, there are other states who will try and convict him. He will spend the rest of his life in prison.

But what I do not understand is how he got victims. Apparently if someone is rich, people magically stop loving their kids. I call it the “Jimmy Saville effect”.

Jimmy Saville if you didn’t know was a British DJ who was openly weird. Bleach blond hair, womaniser, very strange (need to be careful, he sounds like Boris Johnson in this description) but the thing that differentiates Jimmy Saville and Johnson is that the vibes were OFF for Saville.

You can tell when the vibes are off, his bragging about the number of women he slept with (read mental peadophillia, seriously) he was mentally 15 years old, which is why he’d try sexual activities with minors and the disabled. They were mentally his peers. So he had sex with them, or at least tried to.

But I blame the parents. If your kid tells you there is a man who is abusing them. You march their asses straight to the nearest police station, have them make a statement, get a crime number from the officer, chase relentlessly until you have a court date and you get your guilty verdict for your child. NOT ONE PARENT PROSECUTED THIS MAN WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. Why? Money. Same thing happened to OJ. Same thing happened to Kelly… Until it stopped happening.

I told my friend today. “I really hope we’ve changed, its as if we’ve only just discovered we love our kids” Nothing could sum up my views better. We’ve only just discovered that our kids are worth protecting. I believe that the internet, grooming and the sexualisation of the media is the next big scandal, what 13 year olds have access to on the internet will chill your bones.

But what pisses me off about the R Kelly/Saville case is that people knew. Lots of people knew, and they continued on with their lives knowing kids were having theirs destroyed forever. Personally I believe that’s aiding and abetting and should carry a similar sentence to the perpetrator. If you weren’t allowing it to happen, it couldn’t have continued. God watches. All the time. Don’t play.

I think personally justice has been done for the victims, but it isn’t about me. I’m not his victim. So I pray for the victims. If you can, pray for the victims, if you can’t pray, hold them in your thoughts and wish healing on them. May God grant the living, peace, the departed, rest and all of us Grace and courage for the rest of our lives.

Grace and Courage.
