R. Kelly Faces Threat of jail If He Doesn’t Pay Child Support by Wednesday

When it rains it pours for the disgraced singer R. Kelly, as amid fighting off the well-publicized charges of sexual abuse, he’s also reportedly facing jail time for unpaid child support. 

A judge found last month that Kelly owes nearly $200,000 in unpaid child support and interest, according to court records.

He faces jail time unless he pays more than $161,000 by Wednesday, the records show.

A hearing was set for Wednesday afternoon before Judge Lori Rosen, who last month found Kelly was behind on his child support payments.

It is unclear whether Kelly himself is expected in court Wednesday.

Records connected to Kelly’s divorce case have been kept secret and out of public view. But paperwork on the back child support was made public in Kelly’s criminal court file.

Kelly and his ex-wife have three children together.

Kelly, 52, was indicted last month on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Cook County Prosecutors allege he abused four victims, three of them underage girls, over a span of 12 years. Kelly and his attorney have vehemently denied the accusations.

Bond was set at $1 million on the criminal charges, but Kelly was unable to post the necessary $100,000 until after he spent a weekend in custody. Court records indicate a 47-year-old Romeoville woman posted his bail, identifying herself on the bond slip as Kelly’s “friend.”

Accusations of predatory sexual behavior have dogged the singer for years. Cook County Prosecutors charged him in 2002 with child pornography, saying he made a sex tape with his teenage goddaughter, but a jury acquitted him in a sensational trial in 2008.

In the latest charges, prosecutors allege Kelly tried to force oral sex on his 24-year-old hairdresser in 2003 — while he was free on bond on the then-pending child pornography charges.

Prosecutors also alleged that Kelly solicited an underage girl outside his 2008 criminal trial and later sexually abused her; that he carried on a yearlong sexual relationship with a girl he had met in 1998 when she was celebrating her 16th birthday; and that he videotaped himself having sex with a young girl at his home in Olympia Fields in the late 1990s.
