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