[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m on the 2nd episode and the abuse is sickening. But the age of some of these women was 17, 18. I knew exactly what I was doing at 15 and 16.  Maybe I didn’t understand the consequences of my actions, but I knew what my body was capable of and what I could elicit from adult married men.  Wtf is wrong with me that I can’t help but think they allowed these things because they wanted something from him. They were old enough to know better.  Am I a sicko too?[/quote]

I don't think you are a sicko. The age of consent is 17 in Illinois and 16 in Georgia. The law does not consider them children regarding sex, although many disagree. Still, although technically ok, I think most men would not be involved with teens this age. Some teens don't have the best home life and some parents don't protect their kids.

I was listening to the radio the other day and someone who toured with him mentioned the women and parents with young women waiting for him. She said women were screaming for him to pick them, basically being groupies. She said he was a gentleman to her, but yes, women were always around, and she would not take her kids to an R. Kelly concert. She did not see his people picking women, the women were already there waiting.

I feel for the Savages and other parents because I can't imagine not talking to my daughter, but they need to examine their role. Who didn't know about R. Kelly? Put your kids above money. The producer of the documentary apologized for including Charlamagne and Toure as contributors. They have their own problems with women, harrassment and rape, and Charlamagne's old R. Kelly supporting comments have come out.[/quote]
