The R. Kelly trial continues with allegations of abuse from a woman who says she began seeing him when she was 17 years old
An invite from Kelly to audition for him as a singer followed. She met up with him a few days after the show, initially telling him she was 18 despite being 17. During the"audition," Jane Doe # 5 says Kelly sexually pursued her, eventually coercing her into receiving oral sex, and promised to"take care of [her] for life."
Jane Doe #5 testified he and Kelly had sex almost every day during the summer of 2015, and he made recordings of their sexual encounters"almost immediately." She described one particular incident to the court that involved Kelly sexually humiliating her in front of his stylist. She first realized she had contracted herpes from him in Connecticut when she was 17;"I couldn't physically even walk," she said of the pain.
While living in a house with several other women also involved in sexual relationships with the defendant, she was introduced to"chastisings":"He would spank me [if I didn't follow rules]." In one instance, she bought a clothing item that wasn't to his size specifications and was left in a room for three-to-four days until she apologized.
