'Uncountable Times': Witness in R. Kelly Case Gives Testimony of Frequent Underage Sex with Singer
19.08.2022 - 02:55 / etonline.com
A woman who has been central to R. Kelly's legal troubles for more than two decades testified Thursday that the R&B singer had sex with her «hundreds» of times before she turned 18 years old, starting when she was just 15.Jane — the pseudonym for the now-37-year-old woman at Kelly's trial on child pornography and obstruction of justice charges — told jurors that in the late 1990s when she was 13, she asked the Grammy award-winning singer to be her godfather because she saw him as an inspiration and mentor.She said within weeks, Kelly would call her and say sexual things.
She said he first touched her breasts and other parts of her body when she was around 14 at a Chicago recording studio, and that around that time, he «started penetration» at his home at his North Side Chicago home. She told jurors she was 15 when they first had intercourse.Asked by a prosecutor how she would know what to do sexually, Jane answered, «He would tell me what to do.» Asked how many times they had sex before she turned 18, she answered quietly: «Uncountable times… hundreds.»Speaking softly and tentatively at first, Jane described her upbringing in a musical family in a Chicago suburb, including that she was home-schooled because she was in a touring musical group that she joined when she was about 12.Among the most serious charges the Grammy Award winner faces at the federal trial is conspiracy to obstruct justice by allegedly rigging a 2008 trial on state child pornography charges stemming from the purported video of him and Jane having sex. Some jurors said after the 2008 trial, which was on state charges, that they had no choice but to acquit the R&B star because the girl — by then an adult — didn't testify.
