R. Kelly Survivors Claim That He Allegedly Recorded Them Having Sex When They Were Minors

As the troubled singer’s federal trial in Chicago continues, R. Kelly’s name has been all over the news in recent weeks. The Chicago Tribune published the most recent legal development, which includes testimony from two accusers who assert that the R&B singer videotaped them engaging in sex while they were minors.

The first witness today (August 29) was a 37-year-old woman using the alias “Pauline” to give her testimony. Around the age of 14, Pauline went looking for her friend at the singer’s home and discovered Jane “naked, kneeling in front of Kelly.” Pauline and Jane were supposedly best friends.

“He told me he was just looking for bruises on her, because she hurt herself,” Pauline remembered. “I told him that ‘That’s not how you look for bruises’ and he said that’s how he looked for bruises… then he stated that ‘We all have secrets.'”

R. Kelly, who was wearing a dark blue suit, was there for the hearing. According to reports he “kept his head down, sometimes shaking it back and forth as she’s talked about things he allegedly said to her about ‘secrets.'”

Pauline claimed that despite the drama, she still feels love and affection for her accused abuser. “I loved him and I still love him. In a weird way, I know you might judge me, but it’s like best friend meets boyfriend meets dad.”

R.Kelly Will Receive A Sentence For Sex Trafficking And Racketeering Crimes

R.Kelly will finally receive his sentence in court today after evading accusations of sexual abuse for years. The troubled musician is scheduled to appear before the judge who will sentence him in his sex trafficking and racketeering case. During a federal trial in Brooklyn in 2021, the artist was convicted guilty of enticing women and girls for sex.

Using his “fame, money, and influence” to “prey upon children and young women for his own sexual enjoyment,” the prosecutors on the case are asking for a 25-year prison term, according to a filing. Kelly’s legal team, meanwhile, has argued that the singer should be given a maximum 10-year prison term because of “experienced a traumatic childhood involving severe, prolonged childhood sexual abuse, poverty, and violence” that contributed to his “hypersexual” behavior.

“His victimization continued into adulthood where, because of his literacy deficiencies, the defendant has been repeatedly defrauded and financially abused, often by the people he paid to protect him,” his legal team stated.

The singer is a “musical genius,” according to the unsealed document from Kelly’s attorney Jennifer Bonjean “rich and complicated story that is highly relevant to this Court’s goal of fashioning an appropriate sentence for him.”

Kelly, According To The Authorities, Hasn’t Yet Accepted Responsibility For His Crimes

“First, the defendant continues to avoid any acknowledgment of the seriousness of his conduct or the harm that he caused, further supporting the government’s contention that the defendant has shown no acceptance of responsibility and is unlikely to be deterred from committing future crimes,” Elizabeth Geddes, an assistant US attorney, penned a report for Insider. “Second, in his submission, the defendant perpetuates his version of events in a manner that is flagrantly false and contrary to the evidence adduced at trial.”

Kelly has been imprisoned without being granted bail since he was charged with a number of offenses in 2019. He is still under investigation in Chicago for obstructing justice and child pornography. On August 15th, the trial is scheduled to start.
