Prosecutors investigating R. Kelly are looking into a newly surfaced video featuring the R&B superstar, lawyer Michael Avenatti told CNN. CNN has seen the VHS tape that appears to show Kelly having sex with a girl who refers to her body parts as 14 years old. Avenatti, who is representing a man he calls a whistleblower against Kelly, says he handed the tape to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office in Chicago last weekend. “My client knows the identity of the girl and R. Kelly. He identified the two of them on the videotape. He worked for and has known R. Kelly for decades and he met the girl on a number of occasions,” Avenatti said. On Thursday, Avenatti tweeted out a statement describing the tape. Steve Greenberg, Kelly’s attorney, told CNN he had not heard of the development. “We are unaware of any new information involving Mr. Kelly,” he told CNN. Published in Daily Times, February 16th 2019.
