Minnesota's Hennepin County has announced R. Kelly is being charged with soliciting a minor for sex.
Newser reports Kelly gave a girl under the age of 18 his number when she asked for his autograph.
The exchange happened during a July 2001 promotional event in downtown Minneapolis.
When she called him, she was told to go to a hotel and a member of Kelly's staff took her to the singer's suite.
"After some discussion she was offered $200 to take off her clothes and dance for him." Hennepin County Attorney
The girl was also given VIP seating and Kelly discussed her visiting him in Chicago, but that never happened.
In addition to this, Kelly faces multiple federal counts in Illinois and New York, plus 10 charges in Illinois.
