Although it's a new case it's unclear if it's a new victim, as the initials of the victim are the same as one from a previous case.
The alleged assault occurred in January 2010. The "I Believe I Can Fly" singer was previously charged in February 2019 with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sex abuse against four women, three of whom were minors at the time.
The Grammy winner plead not guilty to all of the charges, and professed his innocence in an emotional interview with Gayle King on CBS This Morning in March 2019.
"Stop it. You all quit playing! Quit playing! I didn't do this stuff! This is not me! I'm fighting for my f*****g life! Y'all killing me with this s**t! I gave you 30 years of my f***ing career. Ya'll just don't want to believe the truth," he shouted through tears during the sit down.
He also faces two additional indictments for tax evasion and sex trafficking. Several victims provided statements to two separate federal grand juries, RadarOnline.com reported.
The full extent of R. Kelly's alleged misbehavior came to light in the bombshell docuseries Surviving R. Kelly.
