R&B singer R Kelly 'faces 11 more sex assault charges'
Prosecutors in Chicago are thought to have charged R&B singer R Kelly with 11 new sex-related counts relating to a single victim who is believed to be aged between 13 and 17.
Some of the charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.
Cook County prosecutors reportedly filed the new charges against Kelly on Thursday.
Among the new charges are four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, two counts of criminal sexual assault by force, two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against a victim between the ages of 13 to 16.
The four aggravated criminal sexual assault counts carry maximum terms of 30 years in prison.
Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was already facing 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving four women years ago, three of whom were minors when the alleged abuse occurred.
