Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti Since April, I have been working on the R. Kelly matter. The results of that work will soon be known. We are going to blow this wide open for the sake of each of his victims and one less p-------- will be free. Count on it. #Justice 6:18 PM-31 Jan 2019
Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti Below please find a second stmt relating to our investigation of R. Kelly. As a father of two teenage girls myself, I have the utmost faith and confidence in Ms. Foxx and her staff to ensure justice is done. Second Statement of Michael Avenatti Regarding Robert Kelly Investigation And Newly Uncovered Video Evidence In response to press inquiries, we can confirm the following regarding the VHS tape we uncovered and provided to law enforcement: The VHS videotape of Mr. Kelly depicts him engaging in multiple sexual assaults of a girl fourteen years of age. On this tape, Mr. Kelly engages in oral, a--- and vaginal sex with the young girl in two separate rooms in his home on two separate days. Mr. Kelly and the young victim are both clearly visible throughout the tape as is an identifying mole on the mid to low back of Mr. Kelly on his left side. Mr. Kelly and the victim can both be heard throughout the tape, with Mr.Kelly repeatedly directing the young girl to perform various sexual acts. In addition, Mr. Kelly takes great pains to adjust the camera on many occasions in order to ensure that various acts are recorded with specificity and at a limited distance. Critically, Mr. Kelly and the victim also verbally refer to the girl as only being 14 on multiple occasions on the video. 4:56 PM-14 Feb 2019
Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti In response to press inquiries, attached is a stmt regarding our work on the R. Kelly matter since April, including the discovery of new critical video evidence establishing his guilt. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that this predator is brought to justice. Statement of Michael Avenatti Regarding Robert Kelly Investigation And Newly Uncovered Video Evidence Approximately ten months ago, in April 2018, my office was retained by multiple clients in connection with allegations of sexual assault of minors by musical artist Robert Kelly (R. Kelly). Following our retention, we proceeded to thoroughly and quietly investigate the allegations through witness interviews and the examination of documents/evidence throughout the United States. Due to the importance of ensuring justice is finally done in this matter and because we are deeply concerned that Mr. Kelly has not been held accountable for his sexual abuse of young African-American girls, whom are especially vulnerable, we have done so on a pro bono basis. Importantly, it has now resulted in the discovery of significant new evidence conclusively establishing Mr. Kelly's illegal sexual assault of young girls. Included in the evidence we recently uncovered and recovered is a VHS videotape of Mr. Kelly engaging in multiple sexual assaults of a girl underage. This tape, which is clear, is approximately 45 minutes in length and has never previously been publicly disclosed or, until recently, provided to law enforcement. Importantly, this conclusive video evidence is not the same evidence previously seen and used in connection with the prior criminal matter in which Mr. Kelly was charged nor does it depict the same instances of sexual assault. Further, the time frame of the sexual assaults depicted in the video is within the Illinois statute of limitations. As part of our effort to ensure that Mr. Kelly is finally held accountable for his repeated sexual assaults of minors spanning over two decades, we have provided extensive information, including the videotape described above and witnesses, to Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx in Chicago. Ms. Foxx is an exceptional, dedicated prosecutor and she has personally committed to investigating the matter fully. We have full confidence in her abilities as well as those of her office. We expect to continue to cooperate with her and her colleagues as our investigation continues. Our work has been painstaking, detailed, expensive, and time consuming. Mr. Kelly is a predator and a criminal who has prayed on young, vulnerable girls for far too long. The time has come for him to finally be held accountable for his actions. 4:48 AM-14 Feb 2019
