The Latest: Avenatti: Notion victims are lying outrageous
2 hours ago
CHICAGO (AP) The Latest on the sexual abuse case against R&B singer R. Kelly (all times local):
3 p.m.
Lawyer Michael Avenatti says its outrageous that R. Kellys attorney questions whether the singers accusers are telling the truth about being sexually abused by the R&B singer.
Avenatti, who says he represents two Kelly victims and gave prosecutors new video evidence of Kelly having sex with an underage girl, said Saturday that, Were going to do everything in our power ... to make sure 2019 is not a repeat of 2008.
He was referring to Kellys 2008 child pornography trial, in which the singer was acquitted.
Kellys lawyer, Steve Greenberg, said Saturday after a judge set Kellys bond at $1 million that Kelly is a rock star. He doesnt have to have nonconsensual sex.
Referring to the #MeToo movement, Greenberg said, Unfortunately, theres this whole hashtag movement. Just because someone says something now ... it doesnt make them credible.

It isnt about the sex. Weve known this for what? 30 years at least? Its the power. Its the violence. Its the control. And this guy, with his freaky sex cult, is all about power and control. I hope they destroy him, because prison takes away all control. He deserves worse.
