A new six-part documentary shines a light on the allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct against R&B artist R. Kelly. CNN reports the three-night Lifetime series, "Surviving R. Kelly," features Kelly's accusers and inner circle. The network describes the artist's life as "riddled with rumors of abuse, predatory behavior, and pedophilia." Kelly has not been charged with any crimes connected to the allegations thus far and denies wrongdoing. In 2002, Kelly was charged with 21 counts of child pornography but was acquitted on all charges. When the singer was 27 years old, he reportedly married 15-year-old singer Aaliyah. Last year, several women additionally came forward with sexual assault allegations.
