One of R. Kelly's associates, Michael Williams, has pleaded guilty to charges of intimidation. Williams has pleaded guilty to a charge of arson after he set the rented car of one of R. Kelly's ex-girlfriend, Azriel Clary, on fire.
In return for tolerating the plea bargain, the indictment has consented to drop the witness' charges against him. He's currently looking at at least 60 months and a maximum of 71 months under government sentencing guidelines.
Back in June 2020, Clary shared pictures of her burnt vehicle on social media at her home in Florida. The court found out that Williams used his phone to track Clary's location a few hours before he committed the arson.

Footage from cameras on the road showed that Williams made a trip from Georgia to Flordia on the day that the car was set alight, and his return trip to Georgia too.
According to court documents, Clary was not the only target that Williams had. A few days prior, Williams had googled "how do fertilizer bombs work".
Williams was charged alongside Donnell Russell and Richard Arline Jr. for these crimes last year. Like Williams, Arline pleaded guilty in February.
