Two more women have come forward for the first time to accuse R Kelly of sexual misconduct
Both women gave a press conference on Thursday and said they were compelled to come forward “in order to encourage others who may have been victimized by him to come forward.”
Their lawyer, Gloria Allred said the singer used his fame to manipulate the women, who were teenagers at the time. She also said it fits into what she called an “alleged pattern” of singling out vulnerable “teenagers.”
The women, Latresa Scaff and Rochelle Washington said they were teenagers when they they first met Kelly in Baltimore in the mid 90s. They said they later attended a party where they were allegedly offered cocaine, marijuana, and alcohol.
Both Scaff and Washington say they are willing to testify under oath.
