About two and a half months ago, disgraced R&B act R Relly filed an appeal to the Supreme Court for his federal sex crimes. Him and his attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, were making the statute of limitations argument. As we said previously, they pointed to the PROTECT Act of 2003 and how it's not applicable. Bonjean presented to prosecutors that the act has no clause explicitly stating that Kelly should have been charged for his alleged actions based on them occurring in the 1990s.
The court responded back with the fact that the PROTECT Act extends the statute of limitations indefinitely for alleged crimes committed post 2003. Back then, the Supreme Court said it would take a little while to come to a decision. Well, that time is now, according to HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED and Yahoo! News. For R Kelly, he looks to be in no-man's-land, as they have decided to reject this appeal.
