: Yesterday, MediaTakeOut.com reported to you that the Olympia Fields, Illinois police had been investigating R Kelly regarding an alleged relationship with a 17 year old girl. (Note – the legal age of consent in Illinois is 17)
Initially – the police department made a blanket denial – claiming that R Kelly was never investigated. Now they’re backtracking – saying that he WAS investigated, but that they didn’t find anything criminal.
Here’s how the Chicago-Sun Times is reporting it:
"(We) were informed of a possible criminal matter. We investigated the issues, found there to be no crime, and the matters have been closed," Chief Jeff Chudwin said.Well that’s that … if it ain’t criminal then it’s all good … we guess …He refused to answer any questions about the complaint - when it had been filed or why it was deemed unsubstantiated - saying, "We do not comment on noncriminal matters."
A report that R&B star R. Kelly is under investigation for a sexual relationship with an underage girl is false, according to police.
Citing an anonymous source "close to R Kelly," Media Take Out reported Wednesday that police raided the singer's home in suburban Olympia Fields in connection with an alleged relationship between Kelly and a 17-year-old girl. The report also claimed that "Olympia Fields Police are still tenaciously pursuing the case."
An Olympia Fields Police Department spokesperson, however, denied Media Take Out's report to the Huffington Post.
"No, none of it is true," she said. The site's claim that Olympia Fields Police had confirmed the report was also false, she said.
A spokesman for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said their office had no knowledge of any investigation.
A spokesman for R. Kelly also disputed the report, calling it "wildly exaggerated and inaccurate" in a statement:

I don't understand why everyone's up in arms. THIS STORY WAS NEVER TRUE!! HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG!! MTO posted a bulls**t story yesterday that was immediately determined to be a lie. that's all there is to it. a lie and a false story.

MTO putting out bogus stories or these people believing everything they put out! But if there is any resemblance of truth to this story-it would come out eventually from a more credible source!! LMMFAO
Yall know that punk guilty. Those checks he writes to authorities must me good.
Think about the lyrics to his songs:
1.(bump and grind song) My mind is telling me no but my body is telling me yes, I don't wanna hurt nobody but there is something that I must confess...
2. (aliyah R.I.P)...age aint nothing but a number...
3. Trapped in the closet...and a thousand more I am sure of.
NO, MTO, you're just trying to retract your story after Kelly's people got at you. I'm no fan of his but I knew yesterday this was a lie because Chicago's news would have been all over this. Then you have the nerve to lie today about quoting the Sun Time...............THEY'RE NOT EVEN RUNNING A STORY ABOUT THIS..TODAY OR YESTERDAY.
Again, irresponsible, disrespectful, half-assed journalism at its best.
Good, now can yall leave this man alone and let him live his life?!?! And mto, why yall don't have this post at the top of the page like yesterday when yall thought that this mightv'e been true?? Now that it's not, yall wanna have this down a few notces with not many comment..yall ain't slick! I guess it's true what they say..the worst things are the most popular, but the best things are the least popular..smh
