R. Kelly's crisis manager, Darrell Johnson, argued for the R&B singer's innocence on Monday while also admitting that he would not allow his own daughter to be alone with him.

Johnson appeared on CBS This Morning on Monday after Kelly earlier this month was arrested on federal sex crimes charges, including child porn and enticement of a minor. CBS' Gayle King in the interview asked Johnson whether he would leave his 20-year-old daughter alone with Kelly, who has denied the allegations.
