R. Kelly Charged With Two Counts<br />of Prostitution in Minnesota<br />.<br />State Attorney Mike Freeman announced the<br />new charges against R. Kelly on August 6, at a<br />press conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.<br />The allegations reportedly stem from an incident<br />that occurred in 2001 between Kelly and an underage<br />girl, that involved “dancing and sexual contact.”.<br />A representative for Kim Foxx, Cook County<br />State Attorney, confirmed that the Minnesota<br />charges are a result of a tip line call. .<br />Minnesota’s three-year statute of limitations<br />has been brought into question, although it will<br />apparently not bar the prosecution from proceeding.<br />Because he left the state, the statute doesn’t<br />[end] until he returns to the state, and there’s<br />no indication that he’s been in Minnesota for<br />[a duration of] three years, then we have a case, Mike Freeman, via ‘Variety’.<br />These new charges follow the more than 20 counts of<br />sexual misconduct, racketeering, sexual assault and other<br />charges that Kelly is already facing in Illinois and New York.<br />While there are more numerous charges in the<br />Illinois and federal cases, we wanted to make<br />sure that our victim here in Minneapolis also<br />receives a measure of justice, Mike Freeman, via ‘Variety’.
