Written by KingCnote on February 22, 2019
R. Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in Cook County, Illinois.
Prosecutors there plan to sign off on a warrant for the singer’s arrest this afternoon (Friday). A week ago, a grand jury convened to investigate a sex tape submitted by lawyer Michael Avenatti. Two women testified before the grand jury, and according to TMZ as many as a dozen women came forward to testify.
Kells’ first court date is scheduled for March 8th. State’s Attorney Kim Foxx will formally announce the charges against Kelly today at 2 p.m. [CT]. (Chicago Sun-Times)
