"Uncountable times": witness in R. Kelly case gives testimony of frequent underage sex with singer
CBSN
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.
