"Did you know that I told Aaliya's family about
R. KELLY'S marriage when I was guardian ad litem for her in Judge Freddie G. Burton's court?
R. Kelly and Aaliya "Husband and Wife" |
Instead of outrage, Aaliya's family got mad at me but Judge Burton made them pay me anyway.
ABC/WXYZ 7 - INTERVIEW - WITH GEORGE CUSHINGBERRY JR. JAN 19th, 2019
My mentor and friend, the late John Stroger chair of Cook County Board of Commissioners, helped me get the marriage license from the Cook County clerk. Upon discovery there were 15 forged documents to say Aaliya was 18 and, had a job as messenger when she was really 14 years old. There were news segments played over the years on ABC/WXYZ and Fox that no one really paid attention to.
The recent conviction of Robert Kelly is a vindication of my diligent work to protect women and children in harms way. I am glad that Kelly was convicted and, it looks like the #MeToo movement finally got one right this time. "
Sadly, Mr. Cushingberry is no longer interested in practicing law after a long and illustrious career of being a public servant and consultant. He retired and peacefully living in Florida.
