American RnB Legend, R-Kelly Arrested In Chicago( See Why)

American RnB Singer, Robert Sylvester Kelly has been arrested for the second time this year on sex transit business and other federal charges.

Naija News understands that the 52-year-old Grammy winner was earlier arrested in February on 10 counts in Illinois involving four women, three of whom were minors when the alleged abuse occurred. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and was released on bail.

However, The  King of R&B was arrested in Chicago on sweeping federal charges that accuse him and members of his entourage of recruiting women and girls to engage in illegal sexual activity with the performer and later paying victims and witnesses to cover up his crimes.

An indictment unsealed Friday in the Eastern District of New York includes charges of racketeering, kidnapping, forced labour and the sexual exploitation of a child. It says Kelly and his managers, bodyguards and other assistants picked out women and girls at concerts and other venues and arranged for them to travel to see Kelly.

They also set rules the women and girls had to follow, including not leaving their rooms — even to eat or go to the bathroom — without Kelly’s permission, calling the singer “Daddy,” and not looking at other men, the indictment alleges.
