R. Kelly Sex Abuse Case: 11 New Charges Filed

CHICAGO, IL — R. Kelly is facing 11 more new counts of sexual abuse-related charges, according to a report. The new charges come just months after he was released from jail in March.

In February, Kelly, 52, turned himself in after he was charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse and accused of abusing four different victims, three of whom were under age 17 at the time. The allegations date back nearly two decades. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.

Kelly was released in March from lock up after paying more than $161,000 he owed in back child support.

Some of Kelly's new charges are class X, the most serious class in Illinois, second only to murder, the WGN9 report said.

The Chicago Tribune obtained court records showing the charges, which include four class X felony counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, two felony counts of criminal sexual assault by force and five felony counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Kelly is due back in court on June 6 to face the charges, Megan Crepeau of the Tribune reported.

"All of them are lying," he said in March in an interview. "I have been assassinated."

Kelly has continued to deny doing anything against a person's will, and maintains that social media is to blame for the accusations.

For decades, the singer has been accused of sexually abusing young girls. In 2008, the singer was acquitted of child pornography charges.
