Jury selection in the case against R. Kelly is due to start Aug. 9 in a New York federal court

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Federal prosecutors in R. Kelly’s sex-trafficking case allege he had sexual contact with an underage boy in addition to girls, and the government wants jurors in his upcoming sex trafficking trial to hear those claims.

The Grammy Award-winning singer is charged with leading what prosecutors call a criminal enterprise of managers, bodyguards and other employees who allegedly helped him recruit women and girls for sex and pornography and to exercise a lot of control over them.Now, prosecutors would also like jurors to hear about more than a dozen other people whom the government alleges that Kelly sexually or physically abused, threatened or otherwise mistreated.

And when Kelly was about to go on trial on child pornography charges in Chicago in 2008, the same youth told the singer he had access to a juror, and Kelly asked him to contact the juror and vouch he was a “good guy,” prosecutors wrote.The boy also introduced Kelly to a 16- or 17-year-old male friend, with whom prosecutors allege the singer began a sexual relationship several years later.
