The judge in R Kelly's child pornography trial has issued an order for an Illinois journalist to appear in court.

The troubled R&B star stands accused of video-taping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

On Tuesday, Judge Vincent Gaughan stopped short of issuing an arrest warrant for Jim DeRogatis, the Chicago Sun-Times reporter who handed the tape to authorities.

He was due to appear in court to be questioned about how the sex tape came into his hands, but he failed to appear.

Gaughan had issued a new order for DeRogatis to appear yesterday. - Wenn
