R Kelly pleads not guilty to a new indictment before Judge Lawrence Flood at Leighton Criminal Court Building in Chicago, Illinois, on 6 June 2019 At the trial’s opening last month, the court heard from the prosecution who alleged that Kelly was a “predator” who used his fame to abuse women, girls and boys. Assistant US attorney Maria Cruz Melendez said: “This case is about a predator.” Explaining the evidence to be given at the trial, Ms Melendez alleged that Kelly, 54, used his fame to abuse others. “This case is not about a celebrity who likes to party a lot.” Lawyers for Kelly have so far characterised his accusers in legal documents as “disgruntled groupies” who wanted the attention of the R&B singer, and only revealed their allegations years later.
