Woman testifies singer R Kelly had sexual contact with her when she was a minor
Awoman who has been central to R Kelly’s legal troubles for more than two decades testified on Thursday (Aug 17) that the R&B singer sexually abused her “hundreds” of times before she turned 18 and that it was her and Kelly in a videotape that was at the heart of his 2008 child pornography trial, at which he was acquitted.

Jane – the pseudonym for the now 37-year-old woman as she testified – paused, tugged at a necklace and dabbed her eyes with a tissue as she said publicly for the first time that the girl in the video was her and that the man was Kelly.
When the prosecutor asked how old she was at the time, she said quietly: “14.” Kelly, 55, would have been around 30 years old at the time.
In addition to charges of child pornography and enticement of minors, Kelly faces charges of conspiring to rig that 2008 trial by intimidating and paying off the girl to ensure she didn't testify then.
Some jurors who presided over that 2008 trial, which was on state charges, said that they had no choice but to acquit the R&B star because the girl – by then an adult – didn't testify. On the stand on Thursday, Jane conceded that she lied to a state grand jury in 2002 when she said that it was not her in the video.
“I was afraid something bad would happen to Robert," she told jurors about why she didn't tell the truth then, referring to Kelly by his full first name. “I was protecting him."
She added there was another reason she lied about the identity of the person in the video. “I also did not want that person to be me," she told jurors. “I was ashamed.” |
