MTV News has been following the charges against R&B superstar R. Kelly for years now, through several delays, and now jury selection has finally begun in the child pornography case. With the trial itself still days away from beginning, things are already looking dark for the R&B superstar.

As part of our coverage of what is easily one of the most high-profile legal battles of the year — and possibly one of the most complex — we’ve updated our original show on the case, “R. Kelly: When the Gavel Drops.”

In this first segment of the show (above), Sway and John Norris walk us through a recap of the charges against Kelly. Part of what makes this case so complex is the fact that the alleged victim, who the prosecution is claiming was 14 years old when she engaged in very graphic sexual acts with Kelly, denies that she is the girl in the infamous sex tape. The prosecution will try to make the case that the young woman (now 24) and/or her family were paid off by Kelly’s people in order to prevent her from ever testifying against him.

And this segment reveals much more — particularly creepy is the footage of the interior of Kelly’s house at the time he allegedly made the sex tape, as well as images of the custom-designed private room in which the acts allegedly took place.

It’s incredible to think that it’s taken six years for this case to come to trial. And it’s even more incredible to think how much Kelly’s been able to rehabilitate his persona in the meantime, with the runaway success of his oddball “Trapped in the Closet” series managing to turn talk of child pornography into a thing of the past. Does the public have that short of an attention span…?

If he is found guilty, however, there’s only one possible effect this could have on his juggernaut of a career. Simply put, in the words of Dr. Dre in our special: “He’s over.”

In the following segments of the show, we learn how the prosecution plans to establish a “pattern of behavior” in Kelly’s sexual interest in underage girls: not only did he marry Aaliyah when she was only 15, but there were a three other civil suits brought by women who claimed Kelly had sex with them when they were minors.

Tune in when the complete show airs this Sunday at 2pm on MTV2. Or you can watch the other two segments right here online, after the jump.
