After prosecutors struggled for more than six years to get R. Kelly into court on charges of child pornography, the jurors ended the singer’s ordeal declaring him not guilty on all 14 counts.

Although twelve witnesses identified Kelly in the sex tape that many have declared nauseating and 14 people identified the girl in the video, who was 13 at the time, the R&B star was found innocent.

The reason behind the jury’s deliberation was the alleged victim’s ID, which they said was not conclusive.

The members of the jury, nine men and three women, said they didn’t take too much into account the prosecution’s star witness Lisa Van Allen, who claimed she participated with R. Kelly and the alleged victim in videotaped sex acts. Instead, the jurors said they considered the fact that both the alleged victim, who is now 23, and her family had previously denied she was the person in the video.

When it was clear he had won a complete acquittal, Kelly started crying with relief, while repeating “Thank you, Jesus” over and over again, said one of his attorneys, Sam Adam Jr. The singer, who had faced 15 years in jail if convicted, dabbed his face with a handkerchief as he hugged each of his four attorneys.

While some of the jurors said they were convinced Kelly was on the tape, none of them could be sure about the girl’s identity, therefore there was no evidence about her age.

As both Kelly and the alleged victim denied appearing on the tape, testimony throughout the trial focused on identifying Kelly on the video and determining whether the girl was underage.

The jurors deliberated for three hours Thursday and for about four hours Friday, before finding Kelly, 41, innocent on all 14 counts. Of the twelve jurors, seven voted not guilty and five voted guilty.
