Another says he tried to buy back recordings of himself raping minors.
And he already stands accused of other sexual assaults in Chicago?Yes.

Was Kelly ever caught with incriminating evidence before?There have been close calls for Kelly over the years.
Kelly never stood trial for possessing child pornography or having sex with an underage girl.
It started when he married Aaliyah in 1994.
Aaliyah, whose first album Kelly produced, died in aplane crashin 2001.
In 1996, Kelly and his entourage were involved in a fight at a health club in Louisiana.
He settled the lawsuit a year later for $250,000.

Its likely all of these investigations may have had a hand in the latest indictments against the singer.
Cases like these may also be tried in different municipalities from where the charges are filed.
For example, the Illinois judge may decide to pursue the trial somewhere else within the state.
Trial attorneys often consult with jury experts to help determine juror profiles.
For example, they are generally given a certain number of objections as they seek to eliminate unfavorable jurors.
As more indictments are made, its not unusual for more accusers to come forward with claims.
