Singer R. Kelly has been arrested on federal charges accusing him of recruiting women and girls to engage in illegal sexual activity
R. Kelly was arrested on federal charges that accuse him and members of his entourage of recruiting women and girls to engage in illegal sexual activity with the singer and paying them to cover up his crimes, including those at the center of his 2008 acquittal on child pornography charges.
The indictment says the payments continued after the 2008 trial, and that Kelly also transferred the title on a luxury SUV to the girl in 2013. The Chicago indictment charges Kelly with child sex crimes, including producing child pornography, and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government. It also names Kelly's business manager, Derrel McDavid, and another employee.
Greenberg said the new federal allegations appear"to largely be the same" as what he is charged with in state court earlier this year. He said Kelly"was aware of the investigations, and the charges were not a surprise." on 10 counts in Illinois of sexually abusing three girls and a woman. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and was released on bail.involving one of the women who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was underage.
