R.Kelly is facing a new criminal charge for allegedly bribing a public official in order to marry Aaliyah.
According to legal documents obtained by ET, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn are accusing Kelly of bribing a government employee in Illinois for the false I.D. that listed Aaliyah's age as 18.
According to the documents, prosecutors allege that Kelly,"together with others," paid an official for"the creation of a fraudulent identification document" for a"Jane Doe." The alleged incident is said to have occurred on or about Aug. 30, 1994. Kelly, then 27, is believed to have wed Aaliyah on Aug. 31, 1994. Kelly's former tour manager, Demetrius Smith, claimed in several interviews -- most recently in-- that he facilitated the purchase of the fake I.D. on Kelly's behalf, in order for the two to get married.
Kelly and Aaliyah long denied that they had ever gotten married. However, their illegitimate marriage was legally annulled by a judge in Michigan at the request of Aaliyah's parents in February 1995. Aaliyah later tragically died in a plane crash in August 2001 at the age of 22. The new bribery charge has been added to existing racketeering indictment filed against Kelly in the Eastern District of New York. The charges allege, in part, that Kelly coerced underage girls into illegal sexual activity.earlier this year that the R&B singer had"no idea" Aaliyah was underage when they married, and accused the late singer of having lied to Kelly about her age.
