Robert Sylvester Kelly better known as the singer R. Kelly was sued in 2018 by Faith Rodgers saying that he gave her Genital Herpes. In 2019 Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Geddes sent a letter to Kelly's lawyers saying that she had obtained some of his medical records proving that he has an incurable STD. There are most likely many other victims. Kelly is currently pending trial in a criminal case in which the feds have accused him of trafficking women including minors to be kept as sex slaves at his house.
Rodgers also says that Kelly coerced her into having sex with him and filmed it without her consent. That is why she is also suing him for sexual battery. Kelly had groomed her on the phone, gave her tickets to his concert, and put her up in a hotel. When she tried to get him on the phone to talk about her STD he said that he does not talk about anything on the phone.
Before the feds announced their proof of him having a STD Kelly publicly denied having any STDs.
R. Kelly has a long history of sexual misconduct. He was charged with child molestation in 2002. He illegally married the singer Aaliyah when she was just 15 years old. Throughout all that he still kept succeeding professionally even though people started to figure out that he liked teenage girls.
Finally, after the television series Surviving R. Kelly exposed his sex cult of teenage girls in 2019 action was taken. The #muterkelly began on social media and his career has been in a tailspin.
