they never thought they'd see the day. i was an up incoming finger. i was a girl, one of like, i'm very innocent, but very driven and preyed upon basically at the mall in avenue, tara florida, and promise. just the mentorship and quickly turned into i would to say a sex slave. kelly had been accused for more than 30 years of preying on teenagers using their dreams of stardom to physically sexually and mentally abused them. he illegally married the singer aliya in 1994. when she was 15 years old, the marriage was an old. kelly's 2000 to trial on child pornography charges ended 6 years later with an acquittal. but in 2017 prosecutor started taking women's accusations more seriously. thanks in part to the documentary surviving

r kelly. can you describe the physical abuse? if dad, i can't take the nobody or can't do this anymore in 2019, kelly was arrested in the current case. his defense team says it's a p o in all i can tell you is there was no enterprise, there was no enterprise, it was one man with allegations by a number of women which doesn't make it an enterprise. and that is why he's not guilty of a racketeering with kelly's victims. say they're counting on the court to make things right. i started this journey 30 years ago. i was 14 years old when i encountered roberts of esther kelly. there wasn't a day in my life up until this moment that i actually believe that the judicial system will come through for black and brown girl. i stand here very proud of my traditional system, very proud of my fellow survivors. and very pleased with the outcome or kelly's legal problems are far from over. in august,

he will go on trial in illinois on similar charges. rosalind jordan, l g 0 or a vis. jones to weaver is president and c o with a consultancy in site unlimited. and an expert on race and diversity. she joins us now from the national hub in maryland. we very much appreciate you being with us here. how significant a victory is this for those who suffered so much over such a long period of time. this is huge and i'm sure this is a day that many of them thought would never come. it has been well known that r kelly for years has prayed on young girls and young women, but specifically under age girls for years. and he seemed to been able to get away for get away with it literally for decade. and so to finally see justice come decades later is better than it not coming at all and it's a day that's well worth being here. finally, is there

a race element to this than in terms of his young, black victims in particular? absolutely. you know, when i think about how long this has been going on, and all the stories, some that we've heard of in terms of the marriage to aliyah when she was 15. but it's now reported on that he used to have himself or have people, and his entourage hang out at middle schools like in chicago to try to get little girls. and so this has been long known for years, and it's just been the issue of, i believe that he's largely played on black girls. i a demographic group best let's just get real is not very valued in the society. i think that's allowed him to be able to get away with us. so long had he prayed on white girls like this. i know for sure he would not have been able to get away with it for 30 years. but finally, we have sound some measure of justice here and maybe this country is finally

beginning to move forward in a way that will allow black girls to believe that they are as valued as, as a society and in a wide offense. then to what extent does this review a culture of impunity when it comes to celebrities and, and these kinds of crimes? you know, i think that also has a lot to do with it. the bottom line is that, you know, or kelly was a cash count of his record label. and so there was a lot of money that was being made where a lot of people were incentivized to look the other way. and then he had his entire band based on many of whom, even to this day, want to make excuses for him. want to justify it, want to blame the victims instead of seeing him as the perpetrator? there he is. and so it's both this love of celebrity in this culture, as well as quite frankly, the love of money in this culture that i believe allowed him to be able to go under the radar for so long. particularly given the fact that he was largely victimizing

black girls, it is that sort of try factor that allowed him to get away with all of these horrible asked for so long and so finally it all caught up with them. ok, avis turns to waive a from insights on limited thanks for your insights. today here on al jazeera, thank you. a man from a texas has been charged and connects with the worst human smuggling tragedy in recent us history. 53 people died after a truck carrying migrants was abandoned in san antonio. on monday, the suspect to the driver was arrested off trying to pose as a survivor. i know a wrapper, though, has more from the scene, were in the outskirts of san antonio, and this dirt road off of the interstate is the site where that truck was found, with dozens of migrants crammed in the back, under extreme heat condition. what i want to show you is this memorial that's been set up by members of the local community to remember the migrants who died in the

back of that truck. people have been arriving here in a steady pace, leaving flowers, leaving reef, and even water bottles. the community here is still quite rattled by this horrific tragedy from me. hi, this bob. and i said to my daughter, she is blessed because she was born here. people born here, don't know what goes on in our countries in that part of the world. because here we are blessed need some and we have food, we have everything. we have to work hard to get ahead. i mean, i went through that 30 years ago. i arrived alone. i took a train and thank god i am here. i'm coming an investigation remains under way, and u. s. federal authorities have detained at least 3 men, although it remains unclear what connection exactly they had to the incident that took place on monday. the federal officials are treating this as a case of human smugly at this memorial. however, what we're seeing is a community in morning. you know, i wasn't expecting to flip these away because i felt an excited pain for those people that look at how hard it is now. can you imagine how much those people and

stuff? and those brought us what the end of the day, a human being to desperation, they must have faded, dinah, not having any hope or way of saving them since many of the people we've spoken to say this was in avoidable tragedy, migrants rights, advocates have said that if us border policies that have ended the traditional u. s. the silent processes, arguing that without a change to those policies, it's only a matter of time before something like this happens again. an armed gang who rated a dutch art fair on cheese days, believed, have stolen a necklace, worth at least $28000000.00. witnesses told local, need you the 4 men took a rare yellow diamond necklace. from the event in the city of maastricht, the thieves stole it in broad daylight after smashing its glass case with a sledge hammer. ah, this is al jazeera.
