    Music artist R. Kelly (C) arrives at the Circuit Court of Cook County, Domestic Relations Division on March 6, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois. - Kelly denied allegations he sexually abused women and girls in his first public comments since being indicted last month. "I didn't do this stuff. This not me," Kelly told "CBS This Morning", saying he was "fighting" for his life in an interview to air Wednesday. Excerpts were released Tuesday.

    Cook County prosecutors on Thursday filed a new series of sex assault charges against R. Kelly, adding 11 felony counts against the singer, including charges that carry a potential sentence of up to 30 years in prison, the most serious he has faced yet.

    What We Know:

    • The offense happened in January 2010, according to the charges. The charging document does not contain many details, but the new case may not involve a new victim, since the initials of the victim in the latest case are the same as one of victims in the cases previously charged.
    • The new case charges Kelly with four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, two counts of criminal sexual assault by force, two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against a victim between the ages of 13 to 16.
    • Kelly, who is free on $1 million bond following his indictment in February in sex abuse cases involving four alleged victims— including three underage girls— is due to appear in court on the new case June 6.
    • The state’s attorney’s office did not respond to requests for comment. Kelly’s attorney, Steve Greenberg, said Thursday he had received word of new charges from prosecutors but had not seen any filings in the case.
    • The four aggravated criminal sexual assault counts are all designated as Class X felonies that carry a potential sentence of up to 30 years in prison for Kelly if he is convicted. The four cases filed in February were charged as lower-level felonies that had maximum sentences of up to seven years.
