Interesting fact: R. Kelly wasn't charged with or convicted of sexual assault.

He was charged with racketeering and violation of the Mann Act.

This was a very complicated but well-done prosecution.

Rumors and "we know he did something" isn't sufficient to support an indictment and prosecution. Investigations take time.
