Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx Drops Sex Abuse Charges Against R. Kelly
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx is slated to discuss sexual abuse cases brought against singer and songwriter R. Kelly on Monday afternoon, according to the state's attorney's office.
While it's unclear what will be announced, Foxx is expected to"provide an update on the office's prosecution" regarding four pending cases against Kelly at 3:30 p.m. following a trial in New York where the jury found him guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking. A second trial in Chicago ended on Sept. 14 with his conviction on charges of producing child pornography and enticing girls for sex. Weeks later, a federal judge signaled that she plans to order the disgraced R&B superstar to pay more than $300,000 to one his victims in a decades-long scheme to use his fame to sexually abuse young fans.
A restitution order by U.S. District Judge Ann Connelly that was still being finalized in September is meant to cover the cost of treatment for herpes and psychotherapy. The victim, referred to only by a pseudonym, has accused the jailed Kelly of giving her the sexually transmitted disease during one of their encounters.
Kelly could be on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars more to pay for herpes treatment and counseling for a second victim once the final tally is calculated. The judge rejected a third claim by another accuser.
