R Kelly pleads not guilty to new charges of sexual abuse

Singer R. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to 11 new charges of sexual assault and abuse that also involve an alleged victim who was a minor (under 18 years of age) at that time. According to Kelly’s attorney, Steve Greenberg, the new charges are related to one of the four alleged victims in a case that the singer has already been indicted in.

In February, R Kelly was charged with 10 charges of sexual abuse involving four women, three of which were under 18 years of age at the time of the alleged charges.

According to R Kelly’s attorney, these charges “are not really new — they are the same conduct, just charged differently, same alleged victim, same time frame, same facts.”

The 11 charges that Kelly has pleaded not guilty to include four charges of aggravated criminal sexual assault, two counts of criminal sexual assault, and five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, according to the court documents.

Kelly, 52, could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on the new charges. Earlier R Kelly spent a weekend in jail on the sex charges before he was released for $100,000 on bail on Feb. 25th.
