Kelly on federal sex crime charges. “It was an agent on our trafficking unit who was watching that Lifetime show, Surviving R. Kelly," the source said. The source added: “They were looking at the victims’ interviews” and realized that “this is so much bigger than (what) he has previously been charged with." ALSO: Surviving R.
