Eric is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer best known for hits such as "Bump n' Grind", "I Believe I Can Fly", and his mini-opera "Trapped in the Closet". He has sold 31 million albums in the US with over 50 million albums sold worldwide making him the most successful R&B male artist of the 90s.Allegations of Eric’s sexual activity with underage girls go as far back as 1991, when several women claimed to have had sex with him. In 1995, a rumor surfaced that Eric and 15-year old Aaliyah had secretly married. However, none of the prior reports reached the level of publicity that followed the release of a video tape in February 2002 that allegedly showed Eric and a 14-year-old girl (and neice of Sparkle) engaging in sex.The tape showed numerous sex acts, including the girl being urinated upon. In June 2002, Eric was indicted in Chicago for 21 counts of having sex with a minor, which were later reduced to soliciting a minor for child pornography, seven counts of videotaping the acts, and seven counts of producing child pornography. Currently, Eric still faces fourteen of the charges.
