Pete Townshend isnt the only music star having
legal problems related to child porn. On Wednesday (Jan 22) rapper R. Kelly
was arrested for the second time for child porn related charges.
Kelly would is currently facing child porn
related charges in Illinois was arrested by authorities in Florida after
investigators searched the rappers home and discovered a dozen nude photographs
of a girl police suspect is underage.
Police picked up Kelly in a Miami-Dade
area hotel and he is currently being held on bail of $12,000 according
to the Associated Press.
AP reports, Col. Grady Judd of the Polk
County Sheriff's Office told WSVN-TV that three photos show Kelly having
sex with a female under 18. In the other nine photos, the female is nude.
He said the photos were found last June during a search of a home Kelly
rented in Davenport after he was arrested there on the Illinois warrant.
Davenport, in Polk County, is about 35 miles southwest of Orlando.
Kelly is already facing 21 counts of child
pornography in the Illinois case. Those charges are related to a videotape
of Kelly having sex with a girl that Illinois prosecutors claim was only
13-years-old. The police obtained the tape from the Chicago Sun-Times after
the paper had received the videotape anonymously last February.
Kelly has denied the charges stemming from
the Illinois case and at press time he had not yet issued a public statement
about his latest arrest Florida.
