Michael Avanetti: R. Kelly You Better Get A Good Lawyer!

Kellz is going to likely be served if allegations are true.

The Chicago Police and FBI are looking into the matter of a sex tape that Michael Avenatti handed to them. It contains a clear depiction of the embattled singer Robert Sylvester Kelly having sex with an underage teen.

The lawyer for Stormy Daniels is now going after R. Kelly.

Prosecutors are now going to investigate the 52-year old singer. Avenatti told CNN that he obtained a VHS tape showing that the singer had engaged in sexual act with a girl who was allegedly 14 years old.

CNN has seen the tape and will not show the tape.

Avenatti, who is representing a man who he calls a whistleblower told him the story and made him take the tape to the Cook County State Attorney's Office last weekend.

"My client knows the identity of the girl and R. Kelly. He identified the two of them on the videotape. He worked for and known R. Kelly for decades and he met the girl on a number of occasions," Avenatti said.

The new footage will be the nail in the coffin for the embattled singer. It was told that Chicago Police ordered him and his crew out of his studio. He was ordered by the court to operate his studio between 9am and 5pm on weekdays only. He was ordered to stay out the studio after 5pm and on weekends.

A local junk food media reporter caught the singer and his bodyguards exiting the studio after hours.

The video footage has 43 minutes and it is clear and explicit.

There are two scenes on the video: one apparently in a living room and another in a bedroom. A naked man who appears to be R. Kelly is seen performing multiple sex acts with the girl. She is heard calling him "daddy" multiple times.

Avenatti vows to take down Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh and R. Kelly.

It is impossible to know her age from the video. They both refer to her "14-year old pussy." Six times the girl refers to her genitalia as 14 years old.

At one point the man in the video urinates on the girl.

More than a decade later, the indefatigable Kelly chronicler Jim DeRogatis has reported in the New Yorker that a "videotape from … R. Kelly's past may soon lead to his indictment in Illinois," Avenatti tweeted on Thursday that he is in possession of a 45-minute "VHS videotape of Mr. Kelly engaging in multiple sexual assaults of a girl underage" and that "the time frame of sexual assaults depicted in the video is within the Illinois statute of limitations." Given my belief that Kelly is a serial child predator, it was heartening to read that, per DeRogatis' law enforcement source, "Kelly could be arrested soon." And given my reporting in 2008, I was very interested to see that DeRogatis' story referenced one Charles "Chuck" Freeman.

In the New Yorker piece, DeRogatis reports that Freeman claimed in a 2002 lawsuit that he'd been hired by Kelly's private investigator "to track down any videotapes related to Kelly that might be 'on the streets.'" DeRogatis goes on to mention that press-conference-that-never-was during Kelly's 2008 trial, as well as the fact that "what became of any other videotapes [that Chuck and Keith] might have found remained a mystery."

While DeRogatis didn’t reach Chuck and Keith, he did speak with Lisa Van Allen, who also told her story in the recent Lifetime docu-series Surviving R. Kelly. In her conversation with DeRogatis, Van Allen—who says she started a relationship with Kelly when she was 17—referred back to her allegation that Kelly would carry around a duffel bag full of sex tapes and said, again, that she removed a tape from Kelly’s bag because “I just didn’t want that tape out there.” She told DeRogatis “that prosecutors never seemed all that interested in the tape, even though a second video showing Kelly with an underage girl might have led to a conviction.”

One of Kelly’s lawyers memorably refuted Van Allen’s duffel bag claim during the 2008 trial, saying that Kelly does not “carry around a bag full of porno tapes like he was a porno Santa Claus.” And as DeRogatis notes, Kelly’s manager released a statement after Van Allen testified in 2008 stating that “Lisa Van Allen is an admitted thief and a liar, who wouldn’t know the truth if she tripped over it.”

If prosecutors are indeed now in possession of another Kelly sex tape, it seems likely that—given the publicity generated by DeRogatis’ persistent reporting, the #MuteRKelly movement, and Surviving R. Kelly—they will be very interested in it. It also feels more likely than it has at any time since 2008 that we'll finally hear from the elusive Chuck and Keith, either in a press conference or a court of law.
