R.Kelly was savagely beaten inside his prison cell on August 26. Kelly's attorneys say surveillance video shows that his attacker, Jeremiah Shane Farmer, was able to wander freely into the singer's cell.

They further allege that 'no one raised a finger to stop Farmer from attacking Kelly until after Farmer was well into beating'.

The attorneys now want to question Farmer in the hopes that he will corroborate claims that officials 'encouraged and allowed' the beating to take place.

Kelly has been repeatedly denied bond and remains in custody awaiting trial on a slew of sexual misconducts charges.

According to a motion filed Friday, Kelly, 53, is suffering 'significant physical and psychological injuries' stemming from the August attack, which his lawyers claim could have been 'encouraged' by staffers at the facility.

Kelly is being held at the MCC as he awaits trial on several dozen counts of state and federal sexual misconduct charges in Illinois, Minnesota and New York.

An incident report from the US Bureau of Prisons claims Kelly was ambushed by gang member Jeremiah Shane Farmer as he slept on the bottom bunk of his prison cell on August 26.

On that day, Farmer managed to separate from prison guards and enter the Kelly's cell, where he repeatedly stomped on the singer's head. The star was only saved when security personnel deployed pepper-spray.

But in their new motion, Kelly's attorneys claim that jailhouse security video shows a more troubling version of events.

They write that the footage shows Farmer was able to 'roam a great distance' away from the guards and 'no one at the MCC raised a finger to stop Mr. Farmer from attacking Mr. Kelly until after Mr. Farmer was well into beating.'

'An unresolved issue remains as to whether MCC personnel encouraged, and then allowed, a beating of Mr. Kelly to take place,' the attorneys added.

'That alone merits an evidentiary hearing.'

Farmer, 39, is a Latin Kings gang member currently serving a life sentence at MCC Chicago for a racketeering conspiracy connected to a 1999 double homicide.

He was convicted in 2019 for the deaths of Marion Lowry, 74, and Harvey Siegers, 67.

The two victims were beaten with a small sledgehammer inside their business, Calumet Auto Rebuilders, and found with severe blunt force trauma wounds to the head.

Farmer - who has a 'F**k the Feds' tattoo on his face - last month claimed he was 'forced' to attack Kelly 'in hopes of getting spotlight attention and world news notice to shed light on the government corruption,' according to court documents obtained by The Chicago Tribune.
