CHICAGO — The Chicago federal case against R. Kelly took yet another strange twist Wednesday when it was revealed that the onetime lead prosecutor used a burner email account and a fake name to communicate with the author of a book on Kelly’s sexual misconduct.
But the author, Jim DeRogatis, told the Chicago Tribune he was the one who was fishing for information from the prosecutor — Assistant U.S. Attorney Angel Krull — and that he got nowhere.
The emails were revealed in a motion filed early Wednesday by an attorney for Kelly’s co-defendant, Derrel McDavid. The motion alleged Krull had used the pseudonym “Demetrius Slovenski” and username “piedpiper312″ to create a Gmail account on April 16, 2019, three months before Kelly was indicted.
