Popular Post rooster59 Posted February 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2020 R. Kelly accused of sex with teen girl in 1990s as indictment is updated By Dan Whitcomb FILE PHOTO: R. Kelly walks inside the Criminal Court Building as he arrives for a hearing on eleven new counts of criminal sexual abuse, in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., June 6, 2019. REUTERS/Daniel Acker (Reuters) - Singer R. Kelly, already facing trial in three states on sexual abuse, child pornography, kidnapping and obstruction of justice charges, has been hit with an updated indictment in Chicago stemming from a newly-identified victim, court documents showed on Friday. The superseding indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, identifies the latest accuser only as "Minor 6" and charges Kelly, 53, with engaging in sexual acts with her in the late 1990s, when she was 14 or 15 years old. The new charges also seek forfeiture of assets from the Grammy-winning R&B performer's production company and a separate firm owned by his manager Derrel McDavid, a co-defendant in the Chicago case. A victim previously included in the indictment and known as "Minor 2" was removed from the charging documents for reasons that were not made clear. "We are aware of the superseding indictment. We continue to fight for him and look forward to the day he is free #notguilty #rkelly," the entertainer's criminal defence lawyer, Steve Greenberg, said on Twitter. "The superseding indictment was expected and does not change our position. We look forward to taking this matter to trial," McDavid's attorney, Vadim Glozman said. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all criminal charges filed against him in New York, Illinois and Chicago. The entertainer, best known for such hits as "I Believe I Can Fly" and "Bump N' Grind," has faced sexual abuse allegations dating back more than two decades. Some of those accusations were detailed in a Lifetime documentary, "Surviving R. Kelly" first broadcast in January 2019. Federal prosecutors in New York have also charged Kelly with running a criminal scheme in which women and underage girls were recruited to have sexual activity with him. In that case Kelly is accused of bribing an Illinois official in August 1994 to obtain a fake identification for the singer Aaliyah so they could get married. Kelly was then 27 and Aaliyah was 15, but according to published reports their marriage licence listed Aaliyah's age as 18. The marriage was annulled in 1995. Aaliyah died at age 22 in a 2001 plane crash in the Bahamas. Prosecutors in the Chicago case charged Kelly last July with engaging in sex acts with five minors, recording some of the alleged abuse on video, and using threats to keep victims quiet. Kelly was also charged last February by Illinois state prosecutors with aggravated sexual abuse, and last August by Minnesota state prosecutors with soliciting sex from a minor. In 2008, Kelly was acquitted at trial on state child pornography charges in Illinois.

No need, I don't imagine rap stars make the best boyfriends. The girls must get a little bit of a hint of the forthcoming action, just by listening to the songs, before they offer themselves up.

America has some very strong laws in place (coupled with staunch anti parole sentiments), just perfect for an individual like him. He'll never be released..

NanLaew Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I was dating a black girl back in Houston round about the time when his career was taking off and she said a common sentiment was although his music was damn good (note to BMToo, he was R&B and not a rapper), there was a lot of murky stuff about him already being talked about. This included his being on the down low which he famously titled a song which was one of his biggest hits. Although the song suggested heterosexual infidelity, most thought it suggested something more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underage girls legally cannot consent. Overage guys should know better than to consent with underage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
