Identification of R. Kelly's Alleged Jailhouse Attacker

The inmate who attacked R. Kelly inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago has come forward and identified himself as Jeremiah Shane Farmer, a member of the Latin King street gang.

Farmer, who is convicted of a racketeering conspiracy related to two 1999 northwest Indiana murders, claimed in court records that he carried out the attack on R. Kelly because “the government made me attack” him. He stated that he did so “in hopes of getting spotlight attention and world news notice to shed light on” alleged government corruption.

Court records indicate that Farmer, who is 39 years old, is representing himself and is still detained at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where R. Kelly is also being held after pleading not guilty to numerous state and federal sex crime charges in Illinois, Minnesota, and New York.

Steve Greenberg, one of Kelly’s defense lawyers, confirmed to the Chicago Sun-Times that Farmer is the detainee who attacked Kelly.
