Lawyer says new R. Kelly sex tape is under investigation

A lawyer, Michael Avenatti says that a new sex tape involving R'n'B icon, R. Kelly is presently being investigated by the police authorities.

Michael Avenatti who represents a whistleblower in the R.Kelly rape and child molestation case told CNN that he handed the tape to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago about a weeks ago.

"My client knows the identity of the girl and R. Kelly. He identified the two of them on the videotape. He worked for and has known R. Kelly for decades and he met the girl on a number of occasions," Avenatti said.

In a twist, R.Kelly's lawyer, Steve Greenberg while speaking with CNN revealed that he is unaware of any new sex tape investigation. The alleged sex tape is said to have lasted for 42 minutes and was quite explicit.

According to CNN, there are two scenes on the video: one apparently in a living room and another in a bedroom. A naked man who appears to be R. Kelly is seen performing multiple sex acts with the girl. She is heard calling him "daddy" multiple times. It is impossible to know her age just from the video. They both refer to her "14-year-old p***y." Six times the girl refers to her genitalia as 14 years old. At one point, the man asks the girl to urinate. After she does, he urinates on her.
