Prosecutors in Illinois are investigating a new sex tape that has surfaced, which shows singer-songwriter R&nbsp;Kelly having intercourse with an underage girl.According to reports in The New Yorker and CNN cited by Variety, a new tape against R&nbsp;Kelly has surfaced which shows him having sex with an underage girl.

The New Yorker report, which was written by Jim DeRogatis, who in 2002 broke the news of the sex tape that led to criminal charges against the 52-year-old singer, cites a senior law-enforcement official as saying that prosecutors may soon indict Kelly in Illinois.According to CNN report, it appears to show Kelly having sex with a girl who “refers to her body parts as 14 years old.”

CNN obtained the video tape through celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti, who is representing a man he refers to as a “whistleblower” against Kelly.“My client knows the identity of the girl and&nbsp;R&nbsp;Kelly. He identified the two of them on the videotape. He worked for and has known R. Kelly for decades and he met the girl on a number of occasions,” Avenatti said.

On Thursday,&nbsp;Avenatti tweeted a statement&nbsp;saying that he was retained by “multiple clients in connection with allegations of sexual assault of minors” by Kelly. 
 
In a statement cited by Variety, Kelly’s lawyer Steve Greenberg said: “HAPPY VALENTINES DAY … The calls and emails I received were the first I’ve heard of these allegations. I understand that CNN says that they have seen this video. If the video were what it is claimed to be, by sharing it with CNN Mr. Avenatti would be committing a felony, as would the reporter who viewed it. … I have not been contacted by anyone connected with law enforcement, nor has R Kelly. Mr. Kelly denies that he has engaged in any illegal conduct, of any kind whatsoever. … All of the claims by these women were brought forth years ago, rejected by the police, and/or rejected by the courts, but now for their own gain they have rehashed them.”

The New Yorker describes the video tape in, saying that it shows the singer “sexually assaulting an underage girl,” citing the official and two other sources familiar with the tape. The video also shows the man asking the girl to urinate and after she does, he urinates on her.Based on CNN’s description, the video shows many similarities to the 2002 tape and also features the girl calling the singer “Daddy,” among other similarities to previous reports.

Allegations of sexual misconduct by Kelly towards young women date back to more than 20 years.Kelly was charged with child pornography in 2000 after a video surfaced that alleged to show him having sex with an underage woman.&nbsp;

However, Kelly was cleared off all the charges in 2008 after that woman declined to testify against him.In 1995, when Kelly was 27 years old, he briefly married the late singer Aaliyah, who was 15 years old at that time.

In ‘Surviving&nbsp;R&nbsp;Kelly’ (a documentary series in which accusers came forward with allegations of sexual, mental and physical abuse against the singer) an executive who formerly worked with Kelly says he forged Aaliyah’s birth date on the marriage license to state that she was 18 and another witness said she saw Kelly and Aaliyah having sex.Last year, reports of&nbsp;Kelly holding women captive in a “sex cult” were published. Multiple other reports have surfaced over the years.&nbsp;

R Kelly could face indictment after new sex tape surfaces

In what might come as a major shocker to all those rooting for singer R Kelly to get criminally implicated in a sexual assault case filed by a woman in New York, the charges have been dropped.&nbsp;

R Kelly who was charged for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a Long Island hotel room, according to a report in the US-based TMZ, the criminal complaint in Dallas was recently closed for jurisdiction issues.&nbsp;

A civil case against the singer, however, continues.&nbsp;

Both criminal and civil charges were pressed by a woman named Faith Rodgers who sued the singer last May, claiming that he initiated "unwanted sexual contact" and had "abusive sex" with her in a Long Island hotel room after flying her to his concert in New York. She also reportedly filed a criminal report with Suffolk County PD in June.

As reported by TMZ, according to an August 2018 supplemental police report, Rodgers told cops that although they engaged in oral sex and sexual intercourse, it was "without any verbal or physical resistance."

Based on the absence of any video or photo evidence of the incident from the hotel, cops found the allegations to be "unprosecutable due to a lack of criminality."

According to the report, Kelly has been off the hook for months. In fact, the case was never referred to the Suffolk County DA's office for prosecution, so it had been closed last year.

The issue grew after Rodgers even secretly recorded Kelly so as to get him to confess to sexually abusing her when she was 19. It was then aired in the form of a six-hour <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/singer-r-kelly-under-criminal-investigation-following-documentary-featuring-alleged-sexual-assault-victims-189229">documentary series titled ‘Surviving R. Kelly’</a> that revisited accusations of criminal misconduct including having sex with several minors.

The docu-series drew flak for the singer when ‘All of Me’ singer John Legend was seen along with the survivors of the alleged assault in the video supporting their cause.&nbsp;

Christina Aguilera lauds Lady Gaga for speaking out against R Kelly

An attorney for R&nbsp;Kelly on Friday called a new documentary series about the R&amp;B singer a "for-profit hit piece," and said the latest accusations of abuse by the Grammy-winning musician were a "complete fabrication."'

The six-hour documentary 'Surviving R&nbsp;Kelly,' which aired earlier this month on US&nbsp;cable channel Lifetime, includes allegations from multiple women who accuse Kelly of sexual misconduct, sometimes with minors.

Kelly, 52, the Chicago singer and record producer best known for his hit song 'I Believe I Can Fly,' has for years denied accusations of abuse, including those made in the new documentary.

Steve Greenberg, an attorney for Kelly, said in an interview on Friday that there was no evidence to support the accusations contained in the documentary, calling it a "for-profit hit piece full of falsities, full of mistakes."

The Lifetime series featured interviews with several women making on-camera allegations of sexual, mental and physical abuse by Kelly, as well as interviews with some of his former managers and producers.

The latest accusations echo similar ones against the singer dating back 25 years. After the documentary aired, Chicago's top prosecutor called on potential victims and witnesses to come forward.

"We cannot seek justice without you," Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx said this week at a news conference.

According to media reports, prosecutors in Georgia have contacted an attorney for an Atlanta-area couple who appeared in the documentary and accuse Kelly of brainwashing their daughter.

Reuters was unable independently to verify the accusations in the documentary and could not immediately reach prosecutors for comment.

&nbsp;In 2008, the singer was tried and acquitted on child pornography charges in Chicago.

"There`s women saying things, which is&nbsp;ofcourse&nbsp;their prerogative, but there is no evidence that any of it happened," Greenberg said of the documentary.&nbsp;

Kannie Yu LaPack, a spokeswoman for Lifetime, said:&nbsp; 
"The women's stories speak for themselves."

Lifetime is part of A&amp;E Networks, which is a joint venture between Hearst Communications and Walt Disney Co.

The series has been a hit for the network, which said the documentary's January 3 premieres attracted 1.9 million viewers and the network's biggest audience in two years among adults 25 to 54 and other age groups.

After the documentary aired, singer Lady Gaga vowed to remove a duet she recorded with Kelly from streaming services and never collaborate with him again.&nbsp;

R Kelly's attorney denies abuse allegations in documentary

Lady Gaga on Thursday reacted to the ongoing controversy around singer R Kelly.

Gaga, who had at one point during her career defended her 2013 collaboration with the American singer-songwriter, was being pressured into taking a stand against him.

This comes in the wake of a recent documentary series that chronicles allegations of abuse, predatory behaviour and paedophilia against the `I Admit` singer.

However, it is important to note that Kelly has vehemently denied all the allegations directed towards him. Gaga`s single 'Do What U Want,' which featured vocals by Kelly, spiked controversy when it was released back in 2013, which was about five years after the singer had stood trial in Chicago on child pornography charges in 2008. Kelly was acquitted of charges.

The `shallow` singer had addressed the controversy in a press conference in Japan in 2013.

&nbsp;"R. Kelly and I have sometimes very untrue things written about us, so in a way, this was a bond between us. That we were able to say, the public, they can have our bodies, but they cannot have our mind or our heart. It was a really natural collaboration," she had said.

Earlier this week, 'The Karen Hunter Show' featured Dream Hampton, 'Surviving R. Kelly' documentary series producer, on the show.&nbsp;

The producer, during the interview, stated that she wished Gaga could have featured in her documentary.

"I wanted to know how Lady Gaga could be on 'SNL' with him as someone who advocates for domestic abuse survivors and was, you know, had this ridiculous performance with him on 'SNL'," said Hampton.

Gaga, who has been a staunch supporter of #MeToo and Time's Up movements against sexual harassment, was being asked to speak up against Kelly by the social media users.&nbsp;

Amid all the flak pushed against her lately, Lady Gaga eventually broke her silence and took to Twitter to clear the air. Gaga tweeted:

" I stand by anyone who has ever been the victim of sexual assault. Victim of sexual assault myself, I made both the song and video at a dark time in my life, my intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn't processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life.&nbsp;

I share this not to make excuses for myself, but to explain."

Lady Gaga reacts to the R Kelly controversy: Stand by anyone who has ever been the victim of sexual assault

A woman who said she met R&B singer R. Kelly at a party in 2017 has filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of sexual battery, false imprisonment and transmitting a sexual disease, the latest in a string of accusations against the Grammy-award-winning pop star.

In the civil lawsuit filed in New York state court on Monday, the woman, Faith Rodgers, said she first met Kelly at a party following his performance in San Antonio, Texas, in March 2017, when she was 19.&nbsp;

Kelly, 51, has denied multiple accusations of sexual misconduct over the past year.&nbsp;

His manager John Holder on Tuesday said in an email that Kelly had no comment "at this time" on Rodgers` lawsuit.

RCA record company publicist Theola Borden did not respond to a request for comment.

Rodgers, who is now 20, says in the lawsuit that the singer famous for "I Believe I Can Fly" made arrangements for her to visit him in New York in May 2017 and "initiated unwanted sexual contact" with her there.

"During the course of their, approximately one-year relationship, defendant, R. Kelly, routinely engaged in intimidation, mental, verbal and sexual abuse, during and after sexual contact," the lawsuit said, adding that Kelly`s conduct "was designed to humiliate, embarrass, intimidate and shame Plaintiff."

Rodgers said in a TV interview on Tuesday that Kelly "has this type of, like, intimidation right off the bat. ... So I was just waiting for it to be over."

"I found myself like that multiple times," Rodgers added.

In the lawsuit, she also accused Kelly of locking her up for extended periods of time as punishment and knowingly transmitting herpes to her through sex.

Her lawsuit follows several U.S. media reports in the past year alleging sexual misconduct by Kelly, one of the most successful R&B singers of the past 20 years.

Music streaming service Spotify removed Kelly`s music from promotional playlists this month. That followed a #MuteKelly campaign, supported by the Time`s Up campaign against sexual harassment in the workplace, that called on companies associated with his music business to cut ties with the singer.&nbsp;

In response to the Spotify decision, Kelly`s management said in a statement: "Mr. Kelly for 30 years has sung songs about his love and passion for women. He is innocent of the false and hurtful accusations in the ongoing smear campaign against him, waged by enemies seeking a payoff."

Singer R Kelly sued for sexual battery, false imprisonment

Things toughen for R Kelly as he is now subjected to a new lawsuit filed in a Manhattan court on May, alleging sexual battery, false imprisonment and failure to disclose a sexually transmitted disease while being in a relationship.&nbsp;

According to a report published in a leading US daily, the complaint was filed by a Texas woman who accused that the two met when was 19 last March following a concert in San Antonio. After a few months of interaction, Kelly flew her out to New York where he allegedly "initiated unwanted sexual contact" in a hotel room, including "non-consensual oral and vaginal intercourse."&nbsp;

She mentions in the complaint that Kelly did not tell her that he had herpes and infected her with the virus, which if true is a criminal act.&nbsp;

The two were in a relationship for about a year, during which he "routinely engaged in intimidation, mental, verbal and sexual abuse, during and after sexual contact." According to the lawsuit, this behaviour was “designed to humiliate, embarrass, intimate and shame her.”

It doesn't end there as the lawsuit claims that Kelly would often record them during sex without her consent and kept her locked in secluded areas to punish and control her.&nbsp;

This is of the many latest sexual misconduct allegations that have been levied against Kelly. The singer has denied all allegations.&nbsp;

Active participation of women in public voices and rise of #MeToo campaign has now led to a new viral campaign #MuteRKelly campaign that has led to massive protests outside Kelly’s concerts and Spotify to enact a new policy banning his -- and others' -- music from their editorial playlists.&nbsp;

The woman alleges that she was in a relationship with Kelly for less than a year, during which time he routinely abused her “mentally, sexually and verbally.”

This is of the many latest sexual misconduct allegations that have been levied against Kelly. The singer has denied all allegations. Active participation of women in public voices and rise of #MeToo campaign has now led to a new viral campaign #MuteRKelly campaign that has led to massive protests outside Kelly’s concerts and Spotify to enact a new policy banning his -- and others' -- music from their editorial playlists.
