Child rapists and pedophiles are unpopular in prisons and jails across the United States.

Though singer R. Kelly is world-famous, fellow inmates at Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center see him for what he is — accused of predatory sex prey on vulnerable teenage girls who aspire to be singers and stars.

In August, Kelly, 53, was assaulted in prison and sustained “significant physical and psychological injuries,” according to his high-paid attorneys, who also claimed that the prison staff might have “encouraged” the attack to happen.

While he awaits his trial on dozens of counts of state and federal sexual misconduct charges across states including New York, Illinois, and Minnesota, a documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” was released a year ago that interviewed the singers’ many rape victims and showed how he trafficked young women and imprisoned them in his properties to act as his sex slaves.
