Singer R. Kelly was arrested in Chicago Thursday night and is facing 13 new charges including sex crimes and obstruction of justice.
It’s the second time this year the 52-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kelly, has been taken into custody in Chicago. The new charges include child porn, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice.
In February, Kelly was charged with ten counts involving four women, three of whom were underage when the alleged offences occurred. Eleven more sex-related charges were added on May 30, all involving one woman who accused him of abuse when she was underage.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Federal investigators will provide more detail on the newest charges Friday.
