R. Kelly

R. Kelly's former goddaughter, using the pseudonym "Jane," testified that she had sex with the disgraced singer "uncountable" times while underage.

Around the time Kelly was awaiting trial in 2002, Jane said she moved in to his home in Olympia Fields. On Thursday, one of McDavid’s attorneys quickly cross-examined Jane, appearing to try and establish that it was plausible that others in the Kelly camp would not be privy to their relationship, given the alleged planned secrecy surrounding Kelly and Jane’s relationship that she discussed during her testimony. She also acknowledged that in exchange for her testimony in the current federal trial, she was granted immunity from prosecution for her prior perjury in 2002. She testified that she noticed the word “settlement” on one check she received from Kelly, despite there not being a settlement made between them. But in 2002, her aunt informed her that one of the sex tapes depicting Jane and Kelly had leaked and would soon go public. On Thursday, Jane told the court that she initially denied the allegations when police first began investigating their relationship in 2000. Kelly allegedly taped a separate video at a different time, which was filmed in a wood-paneled room, which Jane referred to as the “log cabin room.” When asked to discuss the room and what occurred, she was silent for some moments before she described the room with a jacuzzi and also detailed sexual acts and being urinated on. As her voice grew quieter, she testified that in the video she was lying on the floor and Kelly had given her champagne. He asked her to describe her vagina as belonging to a 14-year-old, and then he urinated on her, she said. Her voice moved to nearly a whisper as she was asked to detail the alleged sexual abuse Kelly recorded on video at his home, which includes the infamous footage central to the 2008 trial. 18 under the pseudonym “Jane,” said she first had sexual contact with Kelly when she was 14. Edwards allegedly told Jane she should ask the R&B star to be her godfather.

She also testified she later denied to Chicago Police investigators she and Kelly had a sexual relationship. Jane and her father received subpoenas to testify before a grand jury in 2002.

The sexual abuse began when Jane was around fourteen years old, and progressed to full sexual intercourse when she was fifteen. And in 2014 she received a cheque with the word “settlement” written on it, even though no settlement had been discussed. In one video Kelly and Jane are seen having oral sex, with the musician telling her to refer to her genitalia as being “fourteen years old”. Anticipating the line of questioning likely to be pursued by Kelly’s defence team, the prosecution asked Jane why she had previously repeatedly denied having a sexual relationship with the musician. Lawyers demanded that she hand over both the necklace and the passport. He did at that point, however, admit to Jane’s parents what had happened, in a bid to keep them on his side. She told the courtroom that she had decided to testify this time – having stayed silent during the 2000s criminal investigation and legal proceedings – because she had become “exhausted” living with Kelly’s lies.

But yesterday that victim, now 37 and referred to as Jane, finally testified against the musician.
