Multiple victims of R. Kelly are seeking to collect over $9 million that remains unpaid after they won a civil judgment against the convicted singer.
Several of R. Kelly's victims are seeking to collect more than $9 million that remains unpaid after they won a civil judgment against the disgraced singer. The petition, filed on January 31 in New York County Supreme Court, lists Kelly's accusers Lizzette Martinez, Lisa Van Allen, and Faith Rodgers as petitioners, along with Kelly Rodgers, Roderick Gartrell, and Gem Pratts. According to the court filing, a judgment was entered against Kelly in August 2023 totaling $10.
3 million, which was intended to be paid to the petitioners. However, the petitioners allege that they have not received the full payment from Kelly. The singer was sentenced to 20 years in prison on federal child sex convictions in Chicago in February 2023 and 30 years in New York on federal racketeering and sex trafficking convictions in 2022. The filing states that in December, lawyers for the petitioners received a check for a little over $200,000, which reportedly only covered approximately 82 days of interest on Kelly's liability under the judgment. 'After applying the $200,077.79 recovered by petitioners ... the balance of the judgment as to Kelly is therefore $9,937,314.38, with interest,' the filing states. An attorney for Kelly could not be immediately reached for comment on Saturday. In addition to Kelly, the filing names Donnell Russell, Universal Music Publishing, Inc., and other companies as defendants. Universal Music Publishing and attorneys for Russell could not be immediately reached for comment
