The twice-convicted singer faced claims he invited a 17-year-old girl to his hotel room in 2001 and paid her $200 to dance naked with him.
The woman in Minnesota sued Kelly in 2021, but that case remans dormant, too, because Kelly is in prison and is unable to defend himself, cord records show. He was transferred to a federal prison in North Carolina last month.
The Grammy-winning Kelly rose from poverty in Chicago to become one of the world's biggest R&B stars. Known for his smash hit"I Believe I Can Fly" and for sex-infused songs such as"Bump n' Grind," he sold millions of albums even after allegations about his abuse of girls began circulating publicly in the 1990s.
When he announced the Minnesota charges in 2019, then-County Attorney Mike Freeman said Kelly met the young woman before a concert in Minneapolis when she tried to get his autograph. Freeman said the performer gave her his signature and a phone number, and when she called it, she was invited to Kelly's hotel room. She was offered $200 to take off her clothes and dance, and Kelly took his clothes off as well and they danced together, Freeman said.
The criminal complaint said she told investigators that Kelly lay on his bed and she climbed on top of him"body to body." He allegedly touched her all over her body and fondled himself.© 2023 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
