Kelly will now stand trial in Chicago, where he and two former associates will face child pornography and obstruction-of-justice charges following a 2002 trial where Kelly was indicted on 21 counts of child pornography. A jury later acquitted Kelly, but he and his associates are now being accused of having rigged the trial.
Federal prosecutors allege Kelly arranged for a girl and her parents to travel overseas as a means of preventing them from speaking with police prior to his 2002 indictment. Prosecutors also allege Kelly then told them to lie to a grand jury.
