Kelly<\/strong><\/a> is now facing a lawsuit from a new accuser who says he sexually abused her when she was 16 years old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heather Williams<\/strong> filed the suit in Cook County, Illinois \u2026 and in the suit, she says she met R. Kelly in late May of 1998 while she was walking down a street in Chicago. She says the singer was driving by, and stopped and spoke to her \u2026 then sent his people to meet her and her family at a restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, R. Kelly\u2019s associate told Heather and her fam \u2026 that R. Kelly wanted her to come to her studio and appear in one of his videos. She admits she was \u201cstarstruck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She claims in June,\u00a0R. Kelly began sexually abusing her. She\u2019s not specific about where it happened but says they had sexual intercourse and oral sex. In her suit, Heather says the sexual abuse continued until she was an adult.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Heather says she was seeing a therapist in June 2015 when she \u201cbroke through her repressed memory\u201d and could finally speak about the alleged abuse. She says she\u2019s suffered shame, guilt, self-blame and depression \u2014 and she\u2019s suing the singer for at least $50,000.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve reached out to R. Kelly\u2019s camp for a response to the suit.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally Published \u2014 7:45 AM PST\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2019\/02\/25\/r-kelly-alleged-victim-lawsuit-childhood-sexual-abuse\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- adman_adcode_after --><\/p>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text\">Sharing is caring!<\/p>\n<p class=\"gasd_author\"><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/about-me\" rel=\"author\" title=\"Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson\">Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\"><span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in <a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/category\/categorized\/news\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a><\/span>\t<\/footer>\n<p><!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/r-kelly-sued-by-alleged-victim-for-childhood-sexual-abuse\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R.
