Dec. 5 (UPI) -- New York prosecutors on Thursday accused singer R. Kelly of bribing an Illinois official to create a fake ID one day before he secretly married 15-year-old singer Aaliyah.
The then-27-year-old singer, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, was accused of offering a cash bribe to a public official on Aug. 30, 1994, for "the creation of a fraudulent identification" for an unnamed woman.
