   Editor's note: This report includes allegations of sexual   
   assault and physical abuse.   
      
   Federal prosecutors are seeking to have evidence of what they   
   say are more alleged, but uncharged, crimes committed by R&B   
   singer R. Kelly admitted at his upcoming trial in New York. The   
   allegations include the abuse of teenage girls and women dating   
   as far back as 1991, the sexual abuse of a 17-year-old boy,   
   physical abuse, hush payments and bribery.   
      
   The New York indictment, which is one of two sets of federal   
   charges currently levied against Kelly, was filed in March 2020   
   and includes six alleged victims.   
      
   The filing submitted by the prosecutors on Friday includes 20   
   Jane Does and two John Does. In or around December 2006, the   
   government alleges, Kelly initiated a sexual relationship with a   
   17-year-old boy whom he had met at a Chicago McDonald's, and   
   directed the boy to have sexual encounters with other people as   
   well.   
      
   That boy introduced Kelly to a second teenage boy, John Doe No.   
   2, who was then 16 or 17 years old, with whom Kelly allegedly   
   tried to start a sexual relationship as well. Several years   
   later, Kelly is alleged to have started having sex with this   
   second John Doe, and also forced several of his girlfriends and   
   other sexual partners, including a minor girl, to have sex with   
   this young man. Prosecutors say that Kelly often filmed those   
   incidents.   
      
   The government is also asking the judge to allow video   
   recordings of Kelly physically and verbally abusing two women as   
   evidence at the trial.   
      
   The prosecutors also allege that around 1994, Kelly had one of   
   his associates pay an Illinois state employee $500 to create a   
   fake ID for the singer Aaliyah, who was then 15 years old and   
   Kelly's protégée. The purpose, they say, was so that Kelly could   
   marry Aaliyah, because Kelly believed that she was pregnant —   
   and if they were married, she could not then be forced to   
   testify against him in court. (The two were married on Aug. 31,   
   1994. R. Kelly was indicted in 2002 on 21 counts of child   
   pornography, but was eventually acquitted in 2008. Aaliyah died   
   in a plane crash in 2001.)   
      
   The prosecutors also allege bribery involving Kelly and his   
   associates that transpired far more recently. Following the   
   release of the widely seen Surviving R. Kelly docuseries in   
   early 2019, a person listed in the court filings as Kelly's   
   "crisis manager" allegedly told the singer that he was in   
   contact with "two people" who "know a lot" and suggested that   
   Kelly "figure out what you can do for them," indicating that   
   they were open to being bribed. Kelly allegedly responded by   
   asking how much money was needed. In the same conversation, the   
   "crisis manager" told the singer that he had paid a clerk in   
   Cook County, Ill., $2500 and had given the clerk a burner phone   
   to pass along information about Kelly's legal situation.   
      
   Kelly is currently being held in Brooklyn. The two sets of   
   federal charges against him are pending in New York and in   
   Illinois. In all, he faces 22 federal criminal charges that   
   involve allegedly abusing girls and women over the course of   
   more than two decades, and that he led a circle of managers,   
   drivers, bodyguards and other entourage members who helped him.   
   His New York trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 9.
