UPDATE: Attorney Michael Avenatti, who represents one of Kelly’s accusers, held an open press conference at the Park Hyatt in Chicago. During the press conference, Avenatti discussed a number of topics including the video Avenatti submitted that allegedly shows Kelly having sex with a fourteen year old. Most notably, Avenatti mentioned that he knows of two other videos involving Kelly and an underage girl. Furthermore, Avenatti stated that the girl in the video allegedly refers to Kelly as “daddy”. Watch the full press conference Q&A below.
R&B star, R. Kelly, is at the center of the biggest legal battle in music at the moment. After being accused of engaging in inappropriate sexual acts for over two decades, it appears that he may soon be facing legal consequences for his alleged actions. Earlier today, Robert Kelly was charged with ten counts of aggravated sexual misconduct. Initial reports indicate that Kelly is set to appear in court on March 8th to learn about the next steps of the trial. While that may be the worst news Kelly hears today, there may be more bad news in the coming days.

Avenatti also stated that he has more evidence regarding R. Kelly’s ongoing trial that he will reveal at a press conference later today.
