Judge tosses sex photos of R. Kelly with underage girl

BARTOW, Fla. -- Detectives illegally seized photographs allegedly showing R&B singer R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl and prosecutors cannot use them to try him on child pornography charges, a judge ruled Thursday.

Circuit Judge Dennis Maloney agreed with Kelly's attorneys that the Polk County sheriff's detectives did not have enough evidence to justify a search of Kelly's Davenport home when the deputies asked a judge for a warrant in June 2002. The photographs were on a digital camera that was wrapped in a towel inside a duffel bag.


Prosecutors said they would wait for Maloney's written order to decide whether to appeal. Assistant State Attorney Chip Thulberry said if there is no appeal, prosecutors would drop the 12 counts of child pornography against the singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly.

2. That's celebrities for ya.

I remember the one quote from that Simpsons episode: "Don't worry Krusty. This is America! We don't send our celebrities to jail."
