A representative for the singer ‘categorically denies all claims and allegations’ related to the new complaint
R&B star R Kelly has been accused of deliberately giving a teen girl a sexually transmitted disease as he groomed her for his ‘sex cult.’
The woman reportedly told Dallas cops she was involved in an eight-month relationship with the ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ singer when she was just 19 and he was 50.
She is now preparing a federal civil complaint against Kelly, according to her Philadelphia-based attorney Lee Merritt.
A Kelly representative said the singer “categorically denies all claims and allegations” related to the complaint.
Kelly, 51, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, has sold more than 50m albums but has been dogged by claims of abusing women and having illegal sexual relationships with young teens.
In the new allegation, first reported by the the Washington Post, the woman claims she met Kelly last June and their relationship ended in February.

The woman accused Kelly of infecting her in Dallas in December while he was in the city for a concert at the Music Hall at Fair Park.
Merritt said during the was the victim of several forms of criminal misconduct by Kelly, including unlawful restraint and aggravated assault – which relates to the intentional STD infection.
“These offences occurred while our client was being groomed to join Kelly’s sex cult,” he said.
“Kelly gradually introduced the cult to our client over the course of their relationship, culminating with an explanation that she would have to sign a contract and offer collateral information about herself and her family for Kelly’s protection.”
After she left Kelly, she reached out to the parents of Jocelyn Savage, a 22-year-old who reportedly quit college to move in with Kelly in 2016.
She reportedly sent the Savages a direct message on Instagram to tell them she had spent time with Jocelyn.
Timothy Savage he almost immediately asked whether she had a sexual relationship with Kelly and if she had been tested for an STD.
He called the woman “brave and courageous” for filing her report with the police.
“Other girls have said it to us but they weren’t willing to speak up,” Savage said.
“We need a witness to speak up. I hope this opens up some answers. We felt from the beginning that the reason he’s holding the girls is he has some kind of STD that he couldn’t cure.”
Last month we reported how Kelly didn’t care how old his potential sexual partners were so long as they had big bums, the star’s ex business manager has claimed.
In an explosive new documentary for BBC 3 looking at the sexually charged world of the singer’s inner circle, Kelly’s former right hand man Rocky Bivens claims he’d have to regularly intervene to stop the star getting close to young women.
Asked whether there were times he’d been concerned about the age of Kelly’s prospective sexual partners, Bivens replied “There’s been several times where I’ve had to say ‘no, that’s not going to happen’ because of the age of the person.”
Revealing how he would stop 16-year-old girls getting close to Kelly, Bivens added that he didn’t care how angry doing so made the singer.

Describing how age was of no concern to the singer, Bivens said “If a girl was in a room and she had a big booty, she had a big booty. If she was 15 or 20, she had a big booty to him. Period.”
Elsewhere in BBC Three’s ‘R Kelly: Sex, Girls and Videotapes’ documentary, the RnB star’s former girlfriend Kitti Jones claimed he trained one 14-year-old fan to be one of his ‘pets’.
Speaking to reporter Ben Zand, she claimed she was introduced to the girl while she was still dating Kelly between 2011 and 2013.
She said Kelly then told her he had “trained” the young teen since she was 14.
Jones claims she was also forced into sex with Kelly and at least 10 others in his “sex dungeon”.

Studio Engineer James Lee, who worked on R Kelly’s fifth album TP2, spoke candidly about Kelly’s “revolving door” of women.
He claimed Kelly would occasionally “go to McDonalds and come back to the studio with a girl or two”.
He recounted one evening when he was in the studio and R Kelly was allegedly using two girls as inspiration for his chart hit “Feelin’ on Yo Booty”.
He said: “I came into the studio one night and while I’m there, he had two girls in their underwear standing at the front of console bent over while he’s back there playing the keyboards and doing lyrics.”
Lee went on to admit the “girls” were “within arm’s reach” of Kelly.
Speaking about R Kelly’s attitude to women, Lee claimed they were disposable to him.
He said: “They were there for one thing, to service [Kelly] and when he was tired of you, you’re a Big Mac, when he’s done eating you, he throws the wrapper away.”
Kelly and his representatives made no comment to the BBC but the star has previously denied accusations of sexual impropriety or violence against women.
