Alleged Sexual Abuse Case: R. Kelly Claims Learning Disability Led To Court Case Loss

Robert Sylvester Kelly popularly known as R. Kelly has claimed a learning disability prevented him from reading court documents in his alleged criminal sexual abuse case.

The Ignition hitmaker was served in his civil case in which Heather Williams alleges he sexually abused her when she was 16. Earlier this week, Heather won a default judgment against Kelly when he failed to appear for a hearing in court.

His lawyers; Zaid Abdallah and Raed Shalabi have claimed that Kelly had no idea what the serving papers were about and therefore didn’t take the appropriate steps to defend himself, because of a learning disability that prevented him from being able to read.
