R. Kelly said the parents of the two young women he is accused of holding against their will 'sold' them to him when they were teenagers in an explosive interview where he yelled, cried and protested his innocence on child rape charges. 

Kelly, whose real name is Robert, shouted, screamed and at times spoke directly to the camera while being interviewed by Gayle King for CBS News in an astonishing sit-down that aired on Wednesday. 

He said he had decided to speak out to clear up the 'lies' against him pending his next court appearance on child sex abuse charges. Kelly, 52, is facing 70 years imprisonment if convicted on the four counts he is accused of. Three of his four alleged victims were underage when he allegedly attacked them. The incidents happened between 1998 and 2010.
