Lawyer Ed Gensen says he made Kelly get anti-libido shots
The lawyer who defended R Kelly at his 2008 child pornography trial has sensationally claimed he believes the star was guilty of those charges and had to have anti-libido jabs to control his urges.
“He was guilty as hell!” Ed Gensen, 77, told the Chicago Sun-Times of the case, which saw Kelly acquitted of making a sex tape with a 14-year-old girl because her identity couldn’t be confirmed.
Insisting that Kelly hasn’t done anything ‘inappropriate’ in years, Mr Gensen continued, “I’ll tell you a secret.
“I had him go to a doctor to get shots, libido-killing shots. That’s why he didn’t get arrested for anything else.”
“I didn’t facilitate him. He had already done what he’d done,” Genson said.
Now dying of bile-duct cancer, he also claims he went through R Kelly’s songs to weed out anything that would annoy a judge.
And he says Kelly’s 2003 Ignition made him suspect the star might have an unhealthy interest in underage girls.
“I was riding in the car, listening to a song and said, ‘Are you crazy? This is all I need,’” Genson recalled.
“It’s a song related to a guy driving around in a car with his girlfriend. It was originally a high school instructor in a class teaching people how to drive a car.”
Kelly, 52, has been charged with 10 charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four women, three of whom were minors.
He pleaded not guilty and was released from custody after £76,000 cash bail was posted by a friend last month.
