A woman integral
to R. Kelly‘s second federal trial has testified that he had s__x with her
before she turned 18.
R. Kelly got a 30-year
sentence on June 29 after he was convicted of racketeering and s__x
trafficking in New York.
This is just as the singer is to face another trial in
Chicago on 13 charges including child p)rn, obstruction of justice, and
enticing minors into _exual activity.
Opening statements kicked off in R. Kelly’s Chicago federal court trial on August 17.
According to Chicago Suntimes, a
witness who is now 37 and used the pseudonym “Jane” has testified that R. Kelly
had secx with her “hundreds of times” before she turned 18.
In court on Thursday, she said the improper contact with
Kelly began when she was 13.
Kelly’s lawyers had insisted the embattled singer is not “a
monster” and deserves a fair trial.
Prosecutors alleged that Kelly made at least four videos
with Jane, parts of which will be shown to the jurors.
Jane testified that Kelly slept with her “uncountable
times” starting when she was 15.
The jurors were shown photographs of her in high school to
illustrate how young she appeared at the time.
In a two-hour testimony, Jane described a number of sexual
encounters that Kelly allegedly recorded.
In one video, Kelly appeared to hand her money. Asked why,
Jane said Kelly believed that, if it was released for some reason, he would claim
she was a prostitute.
Two of Kelly’s former employees are also facing charges in
this trial.
Derrel McDavid, his former business manager, is accused of
helping Kelly fix the 2008 trial while Milton Brown is charged with receiving
child pornography.
Both men have pleaded not guilty.
