Reports of new R Kelly sex video with underage girl surfaces!
Michael Avenatti claims he provided video to law enforcement that he says shows R. Kelly engaging in sexual acts with an underage girl.
The lawyer said in a statement Thursday that the video is “not the same evidence previously seen and used in connection with the prior criminal matter in which Mr. Kelly was charged.”
“Included in the evidence we recently uncovered and recovered is a VHS videotape of Mr. Kelly engaging in multiple sexual assaults of a girl underage,” Avenatti’s statement continues. “This tape, which is clear, is approximately 45 minutes in length and has never previously been publicly disclosed or, until recently, provided to law enforcement.”
The existence of the tape was also confirmed by CNN, which reported that a man appearing to be Kelly is in the video.
Avenatti and CNN did not report how old the female who appears in the tape is, but CNN reports both she and the man refer to her “14-year-old p—y” in the video.
The video also shows the man asking the female to urinate, and shows him urinating on her, according to CNN.
Kelly’s lawyer said Thursday that he is not aware of any new developments involving the R&B singer.
“We are unaware of any new information involving Mr. Kelly,” Steve Greenberg told CNN. “We have not been contacted by anyone. We have not been informed about any new information by anyone and we have not been contacted by law enforcement.”
Avenatti said in his statement that he has given the video to Cook County (Chicago) State’s Attorney Kim Foxx.
A rep for the state’s Attorney’s Office told CNN that they “cannot confirm or deny an investigation.”
Avenatti also claimed that the “time frame of the sexual assaults depicted in the video is within the Illinois statute of limitations.” The attorney said his office had been retained by “multiple clients in connection with allegations of sexual assault of minors” against R. Kelly in April 2018.
Kelly, 52, has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. The allegations against him include claims he had sexual interaction with underage girls.
He was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 after being accused in 2002 of appearing in a sex tape with a minor. He has also been accused of marrying the late singer Aaliyah during the mid-1990s, when she was 15.
The “I Believe I Can Fly” artist — real name Robert Kelly — has been accused in recent years of controlling the lives of multiple women at his homes.
Kelly has denied all allegations against him.
Authorities in multiple states have looked into claims made against Kelly. The singer has never been convicted of a crime.
Amid the claims against the R&B artist, protesters have called for the end of Kelly’s career using the hashtag #MuteRKelly.
