According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Kelly is in a deep financial hole. In one account at Wintrust Bank, the bank told one of his creditors the singer had a negative balance of $13.
Kelly also has two Bank of America accounts — holding $44,595.58 and $110,056.64, for a grand total of $154,527.22 — however all of that money has reportedly been seized for outstanding debts except for $625.
Kelly is battling his former Chicago landlord who says the singer owes him back rent. The landlord was able to secure a $173k judgment against Kelly. And the landlord was able to reportedly get the $154,527.22 from Bank of America.
Nine of the ten counts against Kelly, 52, involve alleged victims who at least age 13 but no older than 17 years old the 36-pages indictment says. In the indictment there are four alleged victims. One is linked to three different counts. The incidents occurred in separate occasions between 1998 and 2010. In the State of Illinois, the statute of limitations on sexual abuse against minors can extend as long as 20 years.
