After an explosive interview with CBS News' Gayle King, R&B singer Robert Kelly is currently under investigation by Detroit Police for inappropriate relations with a teen girl.
Fox 2 News reports a woman came forward alleging the "Chocolate Factory" singer met her in 2001 when she was 13 years old. Detroit Police said Kelly met the teen in a Detroit-area hotel with the intention to have sexual relations.
The most recent allegation was made a month ago, but police did not release information until Wednesday following Kelly's interview with CBS This Morning. Detroit Police Chief James Craig reportedly told media he was withholding information in regards to the allegation by the instruction of the victim's attorney, Gloria Allred.
"We recognize this is involving a celebrity — that makes no difference to us. We understand the heightened publicity on this case — makes no difference," said Detroit Police Chief James Craig. "We will still conduct our investigation as necessary, but we need to talk to the victim because right now we just got the information from the Chicago Police Department."

According to Click on Detroit, Allred and her client provided Chicago Police with statements regarding the allegation and then informed authorities in Detroit. The woman, who is now 30 years old, claims Kelly also gave her herpes when she would regularly visit him in Atlanta. She says she was 17 when he allegedly passed on the STD.
The 52-year-old artist has had a month of legal woes. In the past two weeks alone, Kelly turned himself in after authorities in Chicago charged him for 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse.
He was released after a friend posted a $100,000 bond to secure his release.
On Wednesday, the singer returned to jail due to unpaid child support for $190,000. Under Illinois law, outstanding child support totaling $20,000 or more is considered a felony offense.
The embattled singer is also under investigation in Georgia for allegedly holding numerous women captive in a sex cult in a suburb outside of Atlanta.
