September 7, 2007 - R. Kelly’s pending child pornography case has been delayed once again, and as of right now, it has not been rescheduled. According to The Chicago Daily Herald, Kelly’s trial has been delayed due to ‘personal’ reasons. “Under doctor’s orders, the lead prosecutor, who has recently given birth, is not able to proceed at this time,” a statement from the court released earlier today.
Kelly faces 14 counts of child pornography involving a videotape documenting sexual relations with a teenage girl. Prosecutors have said the victim could be as young as 13. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison.
