NEW YORK -- Prosecutors want a New York City jury at the R. Kelly sex-trafficking trial to hear profane video and audio recordings they say demonstrate how he threatened his victims with violence.
On one of the 2008 tapes, an enraged Kelly can be heard accusing an unidentified woman of lying to him before beginning to assault her, according to a court document filed on Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn.
“If you lie to me, I’m going to f--- you up,” Kelly says.
The star R&B singer is captured on another recording berating a second woman from Florida, identified as a “Jane Doe” he accused of stealing a Rolex watch from him, the filing says.
