R Kelly has responded to new sexual abuse charges as he this week pleaded not guilty to knowingly exposing two people to herpes.
The Ignition singer’s arraignment took place via telephone conference on Thursday (30.05.20), due to Covid-19 lockdown, where various new sexual abuse charges were discussed.
Calling into the hearing from the Chicago jail where he is currently being detained, Magistrate Judge Cheryl L Pollak asked Kelly: ‘I take it, sir, you do understand English?
To which he replied: ‘Yes, ma’am.’ The disgraced singer – real name Robert Kelly –again spoke to confirm he was waiving his right to appear in court in person.
