While the famous American singer is already the subject of several investigations and legal proceedings, he is again the target of accusations of sexual abuse.

The charges of sexual abuse against R. Kelly are piling up. The R & B singer was indicted in the state of Minnesota on Monday, August 5, for soliciting minor prostitute and soliciting minor. According to prosecutor Mike Freeman, the charges against the 52-year-old singer date back to July 2011.

The alleged victim, who was a minor at the time of the fact, wanted an autograph of the interpreter of "I Believe I Can Fly", at the time one of the biggest stars of American music. R. Kelly then invited her to go to her hotel. There, "she was offered $ 200 to take off her clothes and dance for him," said the prosecutor. The girl ran. According to the prosecutor, sexual contact took place, but no report.

Multiple charges

This new judicial episode comes a few days after the singer pleaded not guilty to several charges in New York, including racketeering.

R. Kelly has been accused for decades of inciting minors to have sex with him, and even to have built up a network of sex slaves. He is now the subject of a series of proceedings launched against him since the beginning of the year and is suspected of having kidnapped, sequestered, threatened and filmed, without their knowledge, several girls and young women in four different states. .

Earlier this year he had previously been charged with aggravated sexual abuse in a state court in Illinois. On July 16, he pleaded not guilty to a series of charges in a federal court in Chicago, a different level of jurisdiction. The federal prosecutor in his hometown accuses him of having sex with minors, a federal crime under certain conditions.
