In new R. Kelly related news, three people have been arrested for allegedly trying to harass, threaten, intimidate and bribe alleged R. Kelly victims. Kelly is facing charges across multiple federal jurisdictions that include child pornography and racketeering. #RKelly
One of the charged, Richard Arline Jr. allegedly discussed a scheme in which the victim would get compensation, including a proposed payment of $500,000, to keep her from cooperating with the government. He claimed that he had communicated with Kelly while Kelly was incarcerated.
Another charged, Donnell Russell, allegedly threatened to reveal sexually explicit photographs of "Jane Doe" and to publicly reveal her sexual history if she did not withdraw her (civil) lawsuit against Kelly.
The final charged, Michael Williams, allegedly set fire to an SUV parked outside a residence in Florida where an alleged victim in the R Kelly case and others were staying. We've yet to hear from the lawyers representing these men.
The attorney for R. Kelly says, "Kelly had nothing to do with any of these alleged acts by those charged. He hasn’t attempted to intimidate anyone, or encouraged anyone else to do so."
