R. Kelly allegations
The latest from Attorney Michael Avenatti after a federal court hearing for R. Kelly was cancelled.
What are the potential consequences of R. Kelly’s charges?
The latest development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding R. Kelly came from Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing several of the alleged victims of the disgraced R&B singer. In a press conference held on Thursday, February 14th, Avenatti revealed a new tape that he claims shows R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl who reportedly refers to her genitalia as “14-year-old p*****.”
The tape, which is said to be clear and was turned over to prosecutors in Chicago by Avenatti, is allegedly from the late 1990s and is separate from the infamous tape from 2002 that led to R. Kelly’s 2008 child pornography trial. Avenatti claimed that the video is just the “tip of the iceberg” of evidence that he and his team have gathered against the singer, who is currently facing multiple counts of sexual abuse.
Avenatti also alleged that R. Kelly’s team intercepted six tapes last week that allegedly show the singer engaging in illegal sexual acts, including rape. Avenatti claims that he uncovered evidence from multiple sources that Kelly and his team have been tampering with evidence, paying off witnesses, and engaging in other forms of obstruction of justice.
R. Kelly was charged last week with ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four women, three of whom were underage at the time of the alleged incidents. The charges, which stem from incidents that allegedly occurred between 1998 and 2010, carry a maximum prison sentence of 70 years.
While R. Kelly’s attorney, Steve Greenberg, has denied all of the allegations against his client, the evidence presented by Avenatti and others paints a disturbing picture of a man who has been able to evade serious consequences for years. Avenatti, who rose to public prominence as the lawyer for adult film actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, has become a vocal critic of Kelly and the entertainment industry as a whole in recent months.
The latest development in the case is sure to intensify the already-high stakes of the trial, which is set to begin next month. Avenatti, meanwhile, is unlikely to back down in his mission to bring justice to R. Kelly’s alleged victims, suggesting that more revelations are yet to come. The world waits to see how this case will ultimately unfold, and whether justice will finally be served for those who have allegedly suffered at the hands of a powerful and predatory musician.
