Video:Judge Won't Dismiss R. Kelly Sex Charges

judge won't dismiss r. kelly sex charges

chicago - singer r. kelly is a step closer to trial after a judge refused friday to dismiss charges in a three-year old case against him for allegedly engaging in videotaped sex acts with an underage girl.

kelly has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child pornography.

cook county judge vincent gaughan rejected defense arguments that prosecutors have been too vague about when the alleged crime took place, said county state's attorney spokeswoman marcy jensen.

prosecutors claim the video was made sometime during a nearly three-year span between january 1998 and october 2000. they cut 18 months off their original timeframe of november 1997 to february 2002 after a judge agreed in june that the span was too broad.

defense attorney ed genson did not return a call for comment after business hours friday.

kelly, whose first name is robert, won a grammy for the gospel-like song "i believe i can fly." he's also known for sexually charged music like "bump n' grind" and "ignition."

the next court date was set for dec. 9.

Video:Vatican Dismisses Priest Accused Of Abuse

vatican dismisses priest accused of abuse

mexican priest marcial marciel degollado has been asked by the vatican to retire, after allegations of sexual abuse.

pope benedict xvi told the priest to lay down his priesthood and retire to a life of prayer and penance.

marcial marciel degollado, 86, founder of the legion of christ order, was accused of sexual abuse by at least nine men, who said they were abused when they were young seminarians, between the ages of 10 and 16.

although the vatican did not address the accusations, it is the first time a priest accused of sexual abuse has been asked to step down by the roman catholic church.

many have applauded the new course the vatican has taken with regards to sexual abuse by their priests. pope john paul ii never asked any priest to step down after allegations of misconduct, many remain in active ministry even after allegations have been proven to be true.

father marciel has maintained his innocence, but has chosen not to defend himself, “following the teachings of christ”.

the priest will not be subject to an inquiry, according to the vatican, due to his old age and frail health.
