- Three men have been charged with threatening and intimidating women who have accused R&B singer R. Kelly of abuse.
- In Florida, one man set fire to a victim’s vehicle. A second man, a longtime friend of R. Kelly, offered another victim $500,000 to keep her from cooperating with authorities. A third man, an adviser, and manager to Kelly, threatened to release explicit photos of another woman.
- The charges filed by federal prosecutors in New York range from sexual assault to supplying Kelly with girls to a racketeering scheme.
