R. Kelly is once again at the center of a criminal investigation. Several parents of teenage girls have come forward alleging that the R&B singer has brainwashed their daughters. Respected journalist Jim DeRogatis has investigated the charges for Buzzfeed and after interviewing several of the women’s parents and former associates of the 50-year-old singer, he brings the harrowing tale to light.

By interviewing several former members of Kelly’s entourage, the singer is painted as a man who imprisons women in a sex cult, “mentally and sometimes physically abusing them to keep them subservient to him,” DeRogatis writes.

Cheryl Mack, Kitti Jones, and Asante McGee provided vivid details to the journalist which support several parents’ worst fears. According to discussions with DeRogatis, six women live in properties rented by Kelly in Chicago and the Atlanta suburbs. The singer also controls every aspect of their lives: “dictating what they eat, how they dress, when they bathe, when they sleep, and how they engage in sexual encounters that he records,” he writes.
