R. Kelly troubles don’t seem to be going away anytime soon. The troubled singer is facing 11 new counts of sexual assault and sexual abuse. These new charges include 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 who was at least age 13 and under 17 at the time. R. Kelly is already facing 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse from four women. It hasn’t been revealed if these new charges are from one of those women or a new victim. Kelly’s  attorney Steve Greenberg stated that it is  “a reindictment on one of the cases.” He also added that “these ‘new’ charges are not really new … just charged differently. Same alleged victim, same time frame, same facts. There are still four cases, not five. And we still expect the same results.”
