TANNEN MAURY/EPA-EFE/Shutterstockwas charged with soliciting a minor for sexual purposes and soliciting prostitution from someone under 18 today in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The alleged incident took place 18 years ago, in July 2001, according to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office. TheMike Freeman, an attorney for the county, said the alleged incident occurred when a fan was trying to get an autograph from the singer before a concert.
They then had sexual contact, which the attorney said was not intercourse, and Kelly allegedly gave her VIP seats to his show. Afterwards, they stayed in contact and discussed a visit to Chicago, where Kelly lives. The newspaper did not disclose the victim’s name or age at the time of the incident, though she was likely between the ages of 16 and 18 based on the charges.that the three-year statute of limitations doesn’t apply to Kelly since he did not remain in Minnesota.
“Some girl comes in and starts dancing and says he touched her? What’s she doing there dancing? It’s enough already,” Greenberg added to“The idea of a statute of limitations is after a certain amount of time, you don’t charge people. I’m not going to waste my time on that case at this point. Until [Freeman] can get Mr. Kelly to Minnesota, I’m not going to burn one brain cell on him.”
