<P> After a number of delays, on October 27, 2006, a Cook County, Illinois court hearing for pre-trial motions set the date of the actual trial to February 7, 2007 . On the date of the trial, Kelly's lawyer informed the court that his client was unable to attend because he was "undergoing surgery for a burst appendix". He also announced that Kelly was "in good condition and was expected to be released from the hospital later in the day ." Kelly's attorney stated that Kelly (who pleaded not guilty) would be in attendance on the next trial date of February 21, 2007 . It had previously been announced by the court that the videotape that allegedly showed Kelly performing sex acts with an underage woman would be publicly shown as evidence in the trial . The trial, however, was delayed due to disputes over when the tape was made and to give medical recuperation time to the sitting judge following a fall resulting in broken bones . Later the case was set for a September 17 date . It took more than six months for the case to go to trial . Jury selection began on May 9, 2008, and the trial officially started on May 20 with opening statements from the prosecution and defense . After two weeks, the prosecution's case wrapped on June 3 while the defense's wrapped on June 9 . After less than a day of deliberations, on June 13, a Chicago jury found Kelly not guilty of all 14 counts . </P> <P> Jim DeRogatis reported for BuzzFeed News on July 17, 2017, that Kelly was accused by three sets of parents of holding their daughters in an "abusive cult". Kelly and the alleged victims deny the allegations . </P> <P> Kelly was again accused of misconduct on April 17, 2018, by a former partner of his who claimed that Kelly "intentionally" infected her with a sexually transmitted disease . A representative for Kelly stated that he "categorically denies all claims and allegations". </P> <P> The Time's Up Women of Color movement called for a boycott of Kelly's music in May 2018 and performances over the many allegations against him . The boycott was accompanied by a social media campaign called #MuteRKelly . In response, his management said that Kelly supports the movement in principle, but targeting him was "the attempted lynching of a black man who has made extraordinary contributions to our culture". </P>
