Singer R. Kelly faces years in prison as allegations of sexual exploitation of young girls pile up
An indictment says Kelly and his managers picked out women and girls at concerts and arranged for them to travel to see Kelly and call him"Daddy".Singer R. Kelly and his entourage recruited girls and women to engage in illegal sexual activity with the singer and covered up the crimes by paying off and threatening victims and witnesses, federal prosecutors alleged on Friday in indictments that could keep the Grammy winner behind bars for decades.
The R&B artist allegedly later instructed them to lie to a grand jury about the case. Kelly was acquitted in 2008 of the charges, which accused him of recording a video of sex acts with the girl, who was 12 or 13 when they met in the mid-1990s. 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.
