The alleged victim at the heart of two separate R. Kelly child pornography trials testified the R&B artist began pushing for a sexual relationship with her just weeks after she became his goddaughter when she was just 13 years old.
R. Kelly appears for a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Court Building on Friday, March 22, 2019 in Chicago.
“I was excited,” she said. “I knew who he was as an artist, I knew his level of success … I was just excited like every other fan in the room.” Asked how many sexual encounters she had with Kelly while she was between the ages of 15 and 18, “Jane” first said the number was “uncountable,” but then estimated the total was in the “hundreds.”
Two former employees of the singer’s music business, Derrel McDavid and Milton Brown, are also charged with conspiring to conceal evidence to obstruct law enforcement during the investigation that preceded Kelly’s 2008 child porn trial in Cook County. He was acquitted in that case.
