Crooner R. Kelly, is again in trouble with the law. New information uncovered by officials has raised the “level of concern” alleging Kelly sexually exploiting and held young girls and women against their will at his Johns Creek residence.
Friday, Fulton County Chairman John Eaves plans to hold a news conference and call for a full criminal investigation by the Fulton Co. District Attorney’s Office.

Chairman Eaves issued this statement:
“A detailed local investigation by the John Creek Police Department has provided key information that we believe is enough evidence that gives the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office all it needs to advance a criminal investigation of the well-known allegations.
Today, I am asking District Attorney Paul Howard and his investigative officers and prosecutors to fully review the report of the Johns Creek Police and follow every lead—no matter where it leads, or who it implicates, and bring those persons to swift justice.
No one should be above the law, because of their income or their zip code. And we will not allow our young girls and young women to be preyed upon by predators or anyone who aims to brainwash and strip them of their human dignity and their right to be free.
Again, as a father of a teenager daughter and a responsible leader in this community, we have a moral responsibility to stand up for people who cannot protect themselves. Today, I am asking our Fulton County Justice officials to do just that. If we won’t protect our young girls and young women, who will?” source
There was also considerable outrage over R. Kelly’s concert planned to be held at the Wolf Creek Amphitheater.
The Fulton Co. Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to approve a letter to Live Nation requesting that his upcoming concert be canceled.
Live Nation is contracted to manage all concerts at Wolfe Creek and Fulton Co. does not have legal rights to cancel the concert.
The Board continues to send messages of disapproval of the continuation of the concert in that venue.
