Haley Bogdon - R. Kelly Released from Prison
The article was about the R&B star R. Kelly pleading guilty to many sexual abuse charges involving minors. He was able to post bond and was released from jail. There were 10 counts of felony aggravated sexual abuse charges involving 4 victims. Three of these kids were younger than 17 years old. Kelly has $161,000 in past due child support that he has not paid, but he was able to post bond even with this debt. The article was stating the facts, but I feel that the author was not in favor of him being released while owing child support and being accused of these awful crimes. I feel that because he is a celebrity, he was given special treatment and I hope that he does not harm anyone else while he is released from prison. The fact that he was able to harm so many victims already is very disturbing and I hope that justice is served if he is proven to be guilty.

It is not often people are given a second chance, and in this case, that is what is exactly happening... I hope he doesn't waste it and make the SAME mistakes, again.
