R. Kelly Sued By Private Investigator Over Payments

R. Kelly is facing a lawsuit that stems from his child pornography case. According to TMZ.com, private investigator Charles Freeman filed legal action in Missouri federal court last week. Freeman alleges Kelly previously hired him to locate “certain tapes” that could incriminate the singer. The P.I. claims Kelly owes 300-thousand-dollars for the services, and is suing for that amount plus interest and costs. Kelly’s camp has yet to comment on the lawsuit. R. Kelly was acquitted on 14 counts of child pornography in June 2008. The case stemmed from a videotape that reportedly featured Kelly having sex with a then-underaged girl.
