R. Kelly Arrested for Child Porn
Jan 23, 2003 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- R. KELLY ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORN
R. Kelly was arrested in Florida Wednesday after police allegedly discovered digital photos of the R&B singer having sex with a very young, unidentified girl.
Kelly, who was once married to the late singer Aaliyah when she was under-age, already faces child pornography charges in Illinois. Kelly and Aaliyah's marriage was annulled after her parents found out about it.
Arrested at a Miami-Dade County hotel, the Grammy Award-winning performer was released from jail on $12,000 bond about three hours later.
A statement issued by Allan Mayer, Kelly's representative, described the arrest as "a classic case of piling on, in which a local jurisdiction tries to make headlines by attaching itself to a celebrity case."
Mayer's statement continued: "As far as we can tell, the charges all relate to R. Kelly's arrest last summer. In other words, there is nothing new here."
The 36-year-old singer has been out on bond and awaiting trial in Chicago on 21 counts of child pornography, stemming from the discovery of a videotape investigators claim shows him having sex with a 13-year-old girl. Alleged copies of the tawdry tape were sold by street vendors in several major U.S. cities.
The latest charges reportedly were filed after pornographic digital images were found stored in the camera equipment police seized from Kelly's rented home last June.
HOLLYWOOD WRITERS LOSE AGE CASE
A Los Angeles judge has ruled against a group of Hollywood writers in a class-action age discrimination suit against studios, networks and agencies.
The judge ruled the plaintiffs could not press the suit under California law, and may proceed in federal court -- but only with individual suits rather than a class action.
Twenty-eight TV writers over the age of 40 filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in 2000, accusing the major TV networks, studios and talent agencies of intentionally engaging in age discrimination in hiring writers.
The plaintiffs include Tracy Keenan Wynn, 57, whose work includes "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman"; Ann Marcus, who is in her 70s, whose credits include "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," "Knots Landing" and "Falcon
Crest"; Jay Moriarty, 54, who worked on "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons" and "Maude"; and Art Eisenson, 60, whose credits include "Kojak."
The defendants include NBC, the Walt Disney Co. and ABC, Fox Entertainment Group, Time-Warner, Viacom and CBS, Columbia TriStar, DreamWorks and talent agencies such as CAA, ICM and the William Morris Agency.
The federal suit alleged violations of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Labor Management Relations Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. After a federal court ruled there was no basis for a class action suit in the matter, the plaintiffs refiled in state court.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charles McCoy ruled Tuesday since the plaintiffs already had filed in federal court, they could not refile the same claims in state court.
