Six years after R Kelly was charged with filming himself having sex with a girl as young as 13, the rhythm and blues superstar's child pornography trial has started with jury selection. Court officials expect it could take a week to find 16 jurors who have not been tainted by the publicity surrounding the Grammy-award winning artist and the tape which has been bootlegged and distributed on the internet. While the media was barred from the courtroom when the pool of potential jurors was introduced to Robert Kelly and the case, a sketch artist said Judge Vincent Gaughan blushed as he read the count indictment. Kelly, who is now 41, is accused of videotaping a girl "whom he knew or reasonably should have known to be under the age of 18" in a variety of sex acts some time between January 1, , and October 1, The alleged victim, who is now 23, has been identified as Kelly's goddaughter. She and Kelly have both denied that they are the people pictured in the home video, which was leaked to the Chicago Sun-Times in Prosecutors will have to rely on the testimony of the alleged victim's friends and family to prove that she was indeed under the age of 18 at the time the video was made. They are also expected to use expert testimony to explain why sexual abuse victims often deny they have been abused. Kelly faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted of the 14 charges of child pornography.

A year-old girl with a disability should be allowed to have an assistance dog with her when she gives evidence at her father's child sexual abuse trial, the ACT Supreme Court has been told. The girl's year-old father is facing three charges, including two acts of alleged indecency against her in and an alleged assault in Prosecutor Jane Campbell asked the court to let the girl have the assistance dog with her while she gave evidence from a remote witness room for the trial. The court was also asked to allow her to wear a cap to shield the overhead fluorescent lights, which were also listed as a source of stress for her. Ms Campbell said the trial would be a "situation where anxiety is likely to arise". But lawyers for the man opposed the plan, saying the presence of the dog could convey an impression of increased vulnerability, creating a more favourable impression to the jury and unfairly prejudicing the man's case. The court also heard the dog had not completed its training and there was a risk it could distract the girl or disrupt proceedings.

If you are a Catholic girl dating a Mormon guy, then it may not be an issue with his parents. I believe that we are all on different paths, but that it is possible for us to travel on different paths side-by-side. Dating a mormon girl. Hey Guys- I as well married a female Doc. I completely agree, but I think the critical part is that he needs to talk to her. I grew away from mine as my husband then-boyfriend slowly grew closer to his Mormon faith. These girls are nervous around non-Mormons.
I keep the positive thought that it will get better. The Mormon church is certainly a time consuming church. Several of the apostles have grown up in part member homes. My current atheism bothers him a little but as long as we respect each other it's fine.
