Now an arrest warrant has been issued for the embattled singer who is locked up in Chicago on sexual abuse charges after he and his law team missed his court date in Hennepin County District Court, according to the DailyMail.com.

This time, Kelly is under fire for claims that he allegedly paid teenager $200 to prostitute her, “get naked and then asked to perform acts of rape on her in his Minneapolis hotel,” according to a complaint filed by Hennepin County District Attorney Michael Freeman.

Kelly’s lawyer reportedly blasted the new allegations: “Give me a break. This is absurd.”

Freeman did admit that this would be a tough case to prosecute because it is 20 years old.
