DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Dubai found itself entangled in the sex abuse case against American R&B singer R. Kelly on Thursday after the performer asked a U.S. judge to allow him to come to the Arabian Peninsula sheikhdom to perform shows and"meet with the royal family."
Kelly was charged on Feb. 22 with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse for allegedly assaulting three underage girls and one adult woman, coming after the release of a documentary"Surviving R. Kelly." He has denied ever abusing anyone. The filing does not elaborate on where Kelly is supposed to perform. There was no immediately publicized event for which Kelly was known to be a performer, nor did anyone in the entertainment industry hear about one.
The state-linked Abu Dhabi newspaper The National, which has written several times about the case against Kelly, reported Thursday on the singer's request to come to Dubai, without mentioning his claim of seeing its rulers.
