As expected in the wake of last week's ruling that evidence was improperly obtained, Florida prosecutors have dropped 12 child-porn-related counts against R&B star R. Kelly [ tickets ].

A Florida circuit judge ruled that photos found by police in a 2002 raid--which allegedly showed Kelly having sex with an underage girl--were seized illegally and are not admissible as evidence.

"My faith in our system of justice has never wavered, and with this victory behind me, I look forward to clearing my name in Illinois," Kelly said in a statement. "As I've said before, I am confident that when all the facts come out, people will see that I'm no criminal."

Kelly still faces 14 child-pornography counts in Illinois.
