‘EVIL’ KELLY GANG EXPOSED

-

Disgraced Singer R Kelly used “lies, manipulati­on, threats and abuse” to operate an “enterprise” that helped him commit multiple sex crimes, a court has heard.

In his weeks-long trial, the prosecutio­n began wrapping up its case by saying the R&B artist “used his money and public persona to hide his crimes in plain sight”.

Kelly, 54, is accused of operated a criminal ring of associates who helped him abuse women and teens sexually, physically and emotionall­y.

“Without them at this service, the defendant could not have carried out his pattern of crime for nearly three decades,” the court was told.

Describing the “Robert Kelly-centric universe,” the prosecutor said his employees and entourage either directly carried out criminal activity or “enabled” it when they “didn’t ask questions”.

The case continues.
