CHICAGO (WLS) — Lawyers for R&B singer R. Kelly will be back in a Chicago courtroom on Wednesday.

They will argue to dismiss sexual abuse charges against the singer by several women.

Kelly was charged in 2019 for allegedly assaulting three underage girls and one adult woman. He is serving a 30-year sentence in federal prison in New York.

He’s scheduled to be sentenced on child pornography charges in federal court in Chicago next month.
