More charges, this time from another state, are brought.
Andrea Mandell and Maria PuenteR. Kelly, having just been indicted and arrested in Chicago on federal child porn charges, also was indicted in the Eastern District of New York on multiple federal counts of racketeering, sex-trafficking and crossing state lines for sex with underage girls, according to just-unsealed court documents.
The New York charges accuse Kelly of being the leader of a"racketeering enterprise" with managers, bodyguards, drivers, personal assistants and runners in his entourage who recruited women and girls to engage in illegal sexual activity with Kelly, including transporting them"throughout the United States" for the purposes of sex.
"Thereafter, while Jane Doe #1 was a minor under 18, the defendant filmed their sexual intercourse on multiple occasions, thereby creating child pornography, using materials that had been mailed, shipped and transported in interstate and foreign commerce," the charges read. Nicole Blank Becker, one of Kelly's lawyers on the state sex crimes pending against him in Chicago, told USA TODAY that Kelly is in a federal holding facility and is scheduled to be arraigned today.
Joycelyn Savage says she is one of Kelly's girlfriends and has declined to speak to her parents for more than two years. They believe she is being held as a"sex slave" by Kelly but she denies she is Kelly's victim.Johnson continued his statement before addressing the father. Speaking to the press, Tim Savage, accompanied by his wife and two other daughters, said they were at the press conference because they"want answers."
Meanwhile, Greenberg issued a statement via social media Friday, saying Kelly's charges were not a surprise. Greenberg said a bail hearing will be held early next week, where Kelly hopes to be released from custody.
