R. Kelly's daughter alleges assault

In a new two-episode documentary, "Karma: A Daughter’s Journey," artist Buku Abi claims that her father, R. Kelly, sexually abused her when she was a child, which she says she hid from friends and family for years.

In her testimony in the documentary, which marks the first occasion Abi has spoken publicly about the alleged abuse, she says, “He was my everything. For a long time, I didn’t even want to believe that it happened. I didn’t know that even if he was a bad person that he would do something to me. I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”
