The award-winning R&B singer has denied the allegations against him
Singer R. Kelly pleaded not guilty to 11 new sex-related felonies at his arraignment in Chicago Thursday morning. The new charges against Kelly, 52, stem from the sexual abuse of Jerhonda Pace, then a minor, that allegedly took place in 2010. Pace told her story of alleged abuse in a docu-series called „Surviving R. Kelly.“
The hearing comes a week after prosecutors announced the new charges, including four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault. Each carries a maximum prison term of 30 years.
