NEW: Minnesota authorities charged singer R. Kelly on Monday with two counts of prostitution and solicitation involving a girl under 18 in 2001
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota authorities charged singer R. Kelly on Monday with two counts of prostitution and solicitation involving a girl under 18 in 2001.
Freeman said the girl was trying to get an autograph from Kelly, and that the R&B performer gave her his signature and a phone number. When the girl called the number, she was invited to Kelly's hotel. There she was offered $200 to take off her clothes and dance, Freeman said. He said Kelly took his clothes off and they danced together.
"We felt we had more than enough to charge based on her testimony and corroboration from her brother," Freeman said."I don't like buying sex from minors, and I don't think most other people do either."Freeman did not provide a name for the alleged victim in Minneapolis. "As this new case demonstrates, it is not too late for there to be justice for even more victims of R. Kelly," Allred said in a statement.
