R Kelly Faces 11 New Charges, Could Face Up to 30 Years in Prison

R. Kelly Returns To Court For Hearing On Sex Abuse Allegations

The verdict isn't in, but the counts are for singer R Kelly.

Court documents show the singer was charged with 11 new counts of sexual assault and sexual abuse-related charges, some of which can carry up to 30 years behind bars.

According to the legal docs, Kelly is accused of committing an act of sexual penetration on a victim listed as "J.P." by the use of force or threat of force sometime in January 2010. He's also accused of forcing contact between his penis and the alleged victim's mouth.

The docs say J.P. was under the age of 18 at the time of the offense, and 3 of Kelly's sex abuse charges are listed as related to alleged victims between the ages of 13 and 16. Kelly will reportedly be back in court next week to be arraigned on the new charges.
