R&B star R. Kelly was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse Friday in Cook County, according to a Chicago Sun-Times report.
Attorney Michael Avenatti says he has evidence R. Kelly and his “enablers” paid witnesses and others to “rig” the outcome of the R&B star’s 2008 trial, when he was acquitted on child pornography charges.
Kelly has denied allegations of sexual misconduct involving women and underage girls for years. His attorney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.
