Who is R Kelly's girlfriend Jocelyn Savage and what has she said about the claims?
Jocelyn Savage, R Kelly's long-term girlfriend and alleged victim, is set to reunite with her family after 10 years.
Her family have previously made claims that Jocelyn was one of Kelly’s “sex slaves”.
Savage, however, has always denied these claims, maintaining their relationship is consensual.
Jocelyn's family had also stated that their daughter was "brainwashed" by R Kelly, prompting her to comment to TMZ in 2017, saying: “I’m 21, I’m about to be 22. I mainly want to say that I’m in a happy place with my life and I’m not being brainwashed or anything like that.
“It’s gotten to the point where it’s definitely gotten out of hand. I just want everybody to know—my parents and everybody in the world—I’m totally fine and I’m happy where I’m at. Everything is okay with me.”
