After Documentaries Highlight Alleged Sexual Abuse By Michael Jackson And R. Kelly, How Should Music Fans Respond?

Singer R. Kelly is breaking his silence for the first time since he was charged with several counts of sexual abuse. During a tense interview that aired on CBS Wednesday, Kelly told Gayle King that all of his accusers are lying. The interview with Kelly comes the same week that HBO aired a documentary, "Leaving Neverland," about allegations of child sex abuse by the late singer Michael Jackson. Both of these stories involve powerful, high-profile artists, and are raising questions about how music consumers should respond.
