R. Kelly was charged with two counts of engaging in prostitution with a minor and one count of soliciting a minor for sexual purposes, authorities in Minnesota said.
The Hennepin County Attorney's Office said in a statement that the alleged crimes occurred on July 11, 2001, with a 17-year-old girl who was trying to get an autograph from the singer.
Kelly, who also allegedly stripped, then touched the teen"all over her body" and gave her VIP tickets to his concert, the statement said.In a news conference, Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman said she told her brother about the incident when it occurred but was"embarrassed at the time and didn't come forward" until Kelly was charged earlier this year.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the woman, said in a statement that her client is not a prostitute but “a child victim of Mr. Kelly.” A spokesman for the county attorney, Chuck Laszewski, confirmed that Allred's comments were accurate and agreed that the legislature"ought to take another look" at the state's child sex crime laws.
