It's a matter of a serial sexual abuser exploiting his wealth and celebrity status to avoid facing accountability for his crimes, only being brought down because enough victims said "he abused me too" overcome the risk of him using that power to hurt them further. It's a particularly egregious case, certainly, but this is fundamentally what MeToo is all about.

Except it's not in either sense, since the #MeToo movement was built around smaller, generally non-criminal infractions. Not only does the shit surrounding R Kelly predate #MeToo by DECADES and people have spoken out very publicly against him for decades, but he had other trials. Many of his victims have been speaking out for years now. Both examples are vast criminal enterprises. In the case of the Epstein cartel, that's how he and his associates made their money.
