pleaded not guilty in a New York City court Friday to charges he sexually abused women and girls.
The New York indictment alleges Kelly for two decades ran a racketeering enterprise comprised of"managers, bodyguards, drivers, personal assistants and runners for the defendant, as well as members of his entourage" who recruited women and girls for sex with Kelly and transported them around the country. Kelly often filmed the sexual activity, federal prosecutors say, including sex with the underage victims, constituting child pornography.
Another federal indictment in the northern district of Illinois outlines allegations by five additional victims and accuses Kelly of having sex with five minors in the late 1990s and early 2000s, recording some of the abuse on multiple videos. It also accuses Kelly of conspiring to intimidate victims and conceal evidence. Kelly also faces sex assault and sex abuse charges in Cook County, Illinois.
The Jane Does"sought out Robert's attention, even fought each other for it, voluntarily contacted him, came to his shows, pined to be with him," the defense papers say."Robert would spend his time and even become friends with and care about these groupies and fans who were dying to be with him."
