Federal prosecutors in New York have filed a motion seeking permission to include evidence of alleged, uncharged crimes committed by R. Kelly at his upcoming sex trafficking trial.
The disgraced singer, 54, is set to stand trial in Brooklyn next month after being charged with 22 crimes, including child sexual exploitation, child pornography production, racketeering and obstruction of justice.
Prosecutors claim Kelly led an enterprise made up of managers, bodyguards and other employees who helped him recruit women and girls for sex.
On Friday, the prosecutors submitted a new filing asking a judge to admit evidence for other uncharged acts that they claim are 'directly relevant to and inextricably intertwined with the evidence of the charged crimes'.,
They include a shocking allegation that Kelly sexually abused a 17-year-old boy - known as John Doe #1 - after meeting him at a Chicago McDonalds in 2006 .
The documents further contend that that boy subsequently introduced Kelly to another underage male, identified only as John Doe #2.
Several years later, the prosecutors claim Kelly began a sexual relationship with John Doe #2. They also allege the star forcing several of his 'girlfriends' - including a minor - to have sex with the young man as he filmed them.
