R. Kelly's disturbing text messages to his victims have been presented in the courtroom in pursuit of bringing him down even more.
This week, the public and R. Kelly's victims showed their rage as they think that the 25 years of imprisonment for the disgraced singer is not enough punishment. As the prosecutors push for longer years, they revealed chilling text messages he allegedly sent to his victims.
In the court documents obtained by Radar Online, the motion unveiled the texts in which the "I Believe I Can Fly" hitmaker told the women and young girls to abide by his rules. He also warned them that they would be punished if they violated his desires.
"He once sent a message to Jane, 'I knew you were young. But that is no excuse to disobey me or not do what I tell you to do,'" it said, adding, "He told one young woman who he perceived had disobeyed him [that people are] murdered for doing sh*t like this."
The prosecutors disclosed that the consequences in question included physical assaults, physical restraints, threats, and violent spankings - with the latter being done on a regular basis.
One victim purportedly divulged that it happened to her multiple times a week for several years.

The same motion also described R. Kelly's horrifying abuse by forcing and pressuring them to have intercourse with others while he watched them.
"[Kelly] regularly required Jane to have sexual contact with other men and women at his direction, including the women living with him, his assistants "LeeLee" and "Cassandra," and a man he referred to as "Nephew," whom she had never even seen prior to the defendant directing her to have sex with him," the document added.
The singer reportedly forced one woman to have relations with his nephew through coercive control.
R. Kelly's sentencing will happen on June 29. Aside from the 25 years of imprisonment, the prosecutors also recommended that he should be fined between $50,000 to $250,000, according to the document.
While waiting, his victims expressed their disappointment as they believe he should be locked up for the rest of his life.
Lizzette Martinez told a news outlet that the singer would never change his ways since he did it again after his 2008 trial. She insisted that R. Kelly should get a life sentence as she and other victims will deal with the effects of his abuse until they die.
