R.Kelly has been accused of molesting Aaliyah when she was 15.
R.Kelly’s battles with molestation accusations have taken a new
turn as his former back up signer, Jovante Cunningham has revealed that
he had sex with late music star, Aaliyah when she was just 15 years old.
In a soon to be released documentary ‘Surviving R.Kelly‘
the singer said he saw the RnB legend molest the young Aaliyah. As
reported by People, Jovante gave a detailed account of the time she
witnessed the statutory rape committed by R.Kelly.
“On a tour bus, there really aren’t many
confined spaces. When you get on the bus there are bunks and so these
bunks have little curtains you can pull at night if you don’t want
anybody to see you sleeping.

“So it just so happened we were all laying
in our bunks and the curtains are open, everybody’s communicating,
laughing, when the [room] door flew open on the bus. Robert was having
sex with Aaliyah,” she said.
R.Kelly has been in the news over the last few
years battling different court cases over child molestation and rape.
One of the most recent accusations leveled against him was from his own
brother who said he raped their 14-year-old cousin.

R Kelly’s image as a music icon keeps getting
dented as the goes by with accusations and counter-accusations of rape
and molestation with the latest alleged victim being his cousin.
According to the singer’s brother, Carey Kelly, R Kelly had sexually
assaulted their 14-year-old cousin and even got her pregnant in the
process. In a recent interview in a radio show “Unwine With Tashak”,
Carey says R Kelly’s character changed after the death of their mother
and Aaliyah by in 2001.
“You give people chances to change before
you put their business out there before you actually say ‘enough it
enough.’ Things happen in people’s lives to the point where you feel
like it’s a wake-up call and now they get a chance to right their
wrongs,” he said.

Carey went on to talk about the time he had a
fight with R Kelly because he could no longer condole his character
because he kept on going after young girls. Carey in the interview also
revealed that he thinks because R Kelly was molested as a child that has
played a major role in his target for young girls.
Already three high-profile women within R Kelly’s inner circle have publicly announced their resignation.
“Robert has a control problem. And the
only reason why he targets little girls, now that I’m older, I
understand. He was molested. I was molested [too], but I didn’t turn out
that way. I became a protector of children. I didn’t want kids to go
through what I went through…especially my daughters,” Carey said.
