The 52-year-old was arrested by NYPD detectives and Homeland Security Investigators on sex trafficking charges
Singer R. Kelly has been arrested in Chicago on federal sex crime charges, according to two law enforcement officials.
The 52-year-old was arrested Homeland Security Investigation agents and NYPD detectives Thursday night on sex trafficking charges, officials tell News 4, and it is expected he will be brought to New York.
Further details on the case are expected to be announced Friday.
Spokespeople from the NYPD and Homeland Security Investigations declined to comment on the arrest. Calls to the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn were not immediately returned.
R. Kelly gave his first explosive and emotional interview with Gayle King on "CBS This Morning" since sexual abuse charges landed the singer in jail last month. (Published Wednesday, March 6, 2019)
Attempts to contact a spokesperson and legal team for R. Kelly were not immediately successful. Drea Kelly, the singer's ex-wife, had no comment following the arrest, her rep said.
The R&B star, whose real name is Robert Kelly, has been the subject of different sexual abuse allegations for nearly two decades, with some of the alleged acts dating back to 1998.
Q.....................
These are FEDERAL charges. She is STATE and powerless...............
This idiot thought he was untouchable.
His “crisis manager” was on TV earlier informing us he was totally innocent of all charges. Right.
Did he fly on Epsteins plane with the rest of the democrat scum?
Saw FOX talking about him. Never heard of him. Don’t care on wit about him except that he gets convicted and gets put in a cell with Big Bubba.
Elite and sex trafficking are words we are seeing together a lot lately.

[snip] During Chris Rock’s opening monologue of the MTV Video Music Awards on Thursday, he joked, “You gotta watch where you sit, can’t sit 50 near Ja Rule, everybody gotta watch out for that. You got the Olsen twins over there (points near the front), then you gotta put R. Kelly up there (points up in the balconies).”

FReepers sure love showing to the world how out of touch they are.
R. Kelly has been a top-charting recording artist for the past 25 years. Do you live in a cave?
No, arsehole I lived in California back then. Maybe you follow the negro ghetto noise scene, I sure as hell do not.
