US R&B star R. Kelly has been accused of fresh abuse allegations, including the claim he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Prosecutors allege the singer abused the teenager after meeting him at a Chicago McDonald’s in 2006.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They want evidence of this, and other alleged but uncharged crimes, to be heard at Kelly’s trial in August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Kelly denies ever abusing anyone, and his lawyers have not responded to the latest allegations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Grammy-winner, real name Robert Kelly, is set to face trial in New York next month on charges including child sexual exploitation, making indecent images of minors, racketeering and obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The charges involve six unnamed women and girls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Now, prosecutors would also like jurors to hear about about more than a dozen other people they say Kelly abused, threatened or mistreated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They include a 17-year-old boy and aspiring musician, whom Kelly allegedly met at a McDonald’s and then invited to his Chicago studio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After offering help the boy with his music career, Kelly is said to have later propositioned and had sexual contact with him while he was still underage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
