The new charges against R. Kelly also seek forfeiture of assets from the Grammy-winning RB performer's production company and a separate firm owned by his manager Derrel McDavid, a co-defendant in the Chicago case.
R. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all criminal charges filed against him in New York, Illinois and Chicago and some of those accusations were detailed in a Lifetime documentary, "Surviving R. Kelly" first broadcast in January 2019.
Federal prosecutors in New York have also charged Kelly with running a criminal scheme in which women and underage girls were recruited to have sexual activity with him.
