He was recharged in an existing case, same alleged victim and time (a decade ago) It changes nothing."He continued, "These are the same conduct, just charged differently, same alleged victim, same time frame, same facts. We expect the same results."Kelly's recent charges follow allegations that were made earlier this year.E! News reported in February, the 52-year-old star was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in Cook County.Court documents showed four alleged victims, with nine of Kelly's counts involving victims between the age of 13 and 16.
