R. Kelly claims learning disability prevented him from reading court papers

LOS ANGELES – R. Kelly has claimed a learning disability prevented him from reading court documents in his alleged criminal sexual abuse case.

And now, his lawyers Zaid Abdallah and Raed Shalabi have claimed that Kelly had no idea what the serving papers were about and therefore didn't take the appropriate steps to defend himself, because of a learning disability that prevents him from being able to read. The attorneys are also claiming Kelly should not have been served the papers at all, as he was in Cook County Jail at the time for failing to pay child support to his ex-wife Andrea Lee.

The latest claim against Kelly came after he was faced with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse when four women accused him of sexually abusing them, three of whom claim they were underage at the time of the alleged incidents.

You recycling news

I thought he has lawyer and a PA to help him with all that.
