Federal prosecutors uncovered over 20 videos of 52-year-old singer Robert Sylvester Kelly [aka R Kelly] having sex with minors. The POS was indicted on 18 federal charges earlier in the week, including production of child pornography, and raping a minor [aka child] on camera.
If true, and it appears quite likely it is, Kelly should be chemically or physically castrated before giving him a lethal injection.
The tapes in question were handed over to investigators by members of Kelly's inner circle. They show him engaged in sex acts with multiple children, Gerald Griggs, an attorney for the family of alleged victim Joycelyn Savage, told TMZ.
The alleged pedophile was indicted by a federal grand jury in New York on Wednesday, and on Thursday officers with the New York Police Department along with Homeland Security agents detained him outside his Trump Tower apartment building in Chicago.

Like Roman Polanski, Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, Kelly is a wealthy liberal who believes the law doesn't apply to him, or at least thinks he was too smart to get caught.
Because the accusations come from the federal government, they add a new dimension to the allegations against the alleged pedophile, who was already facing sexual abuse charges brought by Illinois prosecutors earlier this year.
One federal indictment in Chicago said Kelly arranged for a girl and her parents to travel overseas to prevent them from talking with police prior to his 2002 indictment on 21 counts of child pornography. At least he didn't have them "offed."
The R&B artist allegedly later instructed them to lie to a grand jury about the case. Kelly was acquitted in 2008 of the charges, which accused him of recording a video of sex acts with the girl, who was 12 or 13 when they met in the mid-1990s. If true, he should be given a free ride on "Old Sparky."

It said Kelly and his managers, bodyguards and other assistants picked out women and girls at concerts and other venues and arranged for them to travel to see Kelly. [Shades of Jeffrey Epstein, right?]
They also set rules the women and girls had to follow, including not leaving their rooms - even to eat or go to the bathroom - without Kelly's permission, calling the singer 'Daddy' and not looking at other men, the indictment alleges. [Shades of Sharia law, right?]
The allegations have swirled for years around Kelly, whom federal prosecutors said Friday was 'emboldened by his fame and the lack of any real consequences.' The charges come after two documentaries and a series of news articles about the accusations, as well as pleas from prosecutors who have urged new victims and witnesses came forward.
Kelly was arrested Thursday evening while walking his dog 'Believe' in Chicago. It is believed that 'Believe' took a dump by a group of homeless folks which Kelly allowed to ripen as he went on his merry way.
He appeared in court Friday, standing before the judge in an orange jumpsuit, his hands clasped behind his back, and the only words he spoke during the 15-minute hearing were 'yes, ma'am.'
He will remain in federal custody at least until Tuesday, when he's scheduled for a detention hearing. Prosecutors want him held without bail.
Kelly's smart, Jewish lawyer, Steven Greenberg, [his mother was so proud when he graduated from law school] said the latest charges were "not a surprise" and that Kelly should be allowed to post bail [and perhaps "do a Polanski" and flee the country.]
"It's the worst kept secret he was going to get charged federally, and he hasn't fled," Greenberg said following Friday's hearing.
He also accused the federal government of "piling on" with the new charges [even though they may be accurate and the children he had sex with have the right to justice] and described his client as unflappable despite a series of indictments in recent months. What a freaking hero is R Kelly, with his flaps being kept in check.
"I'm amazed he hasn't had a complete breakdown in the face of all of this pressure," Greenberg said. He questioned if the victims referenced in the indictments were actually victims, or fictional characters in the make believe videos.
"They've charged him in New York with enticing people and encouraging people to have sex with him," Greenberg said. "I don't think people accidentally have sex so I'm not really sure what the criminal activity is there." But there's this little thing call age of consent, which children have not as yet obtained BECAUSE THEY'RE CHILDREN!!!
The Chicago indictment charges Kelly with child sex crimes, including producing child pornography, and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government. It also names Kelly's business manager, Derrel McDavid, and another employee who, if guilty, should be made to sit in Kelly's lap when "Old Sparky" gets-a-sparking.
It says Kelly recorded himself engaged in sex acts with several minor girls and went to great lengths to recover the videos when he realized some were missing from his 'collection.' Kelly allegedly made some victims and witnesses take lie-detector tests to ensure they had returned all copies of the videos.
Kelly was arrested in February on 10 counts in Illinois of sexually abusing three girls and a woman. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and was released on bail.
Then on May 30, Cook County prosecutors added 11 more sex-related counts involving one of the women who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was underage.
Kelly is being held in federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago.
