Posted December 1, 2004-- A prankster that started a rumor about R.Kelly and Ashanti's younger sister might face criminal charges from the Associated Press.
An unidentified person wrote a story that was crafted just like an official AP story and claimed that R.Kelly sexually assaulted Shia "Shi Shi" Douglas, the younger sister of Ashanti.
The pair's mother and Ashanti's manager Tina Douglas confirmed with BET.com that authorities are seeking to press charges against the perpetrator of the crime, which is a federal offense.
