CHICAGO (CelebrityAccess) — Embattled R&B artist R. Kelly has been indicted on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving four alleged victims, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said Friday.

In a press conference, Foxx detailed the charges against Robert Kelly, which addresses alleged incidents ranging from 1998 to 2010 and included victims between the ages of 13 and 17.
