Two more women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against the R&B singer R Kelly.

Rochelle Washington and Latresa Scaff say they were given drink and drugs at an after‑concert party in Baltimore in the 1990s.

They said the singer then cornered them in a hotel room and demanded sex.

Kelly who is now 52-years-old has been accused of decades of sexual abuse against women.

He has never been convicted and denies all the allegations.

Addressing journalists in New York, the two women said they were teenagers when Kelly's security staff picked them out of a concert audience.

They were unable to give the exact year but said it was either 1995 or 1996.
