R. Kelly Trial: Woman To Testify That She Had Sexual Encounter With Kelly And Girl In Videotape

By Jem Aswad (MTV.com)

A woman will testify at R. Kelly's upcoming child-pornography trial that she had a three-way sexual encounter with Kelly and the allegedly underage girl shown in the videotape at the center of the case, the Chicago Sun-Times reported on Saturday (May 3). Jury selection for the long-delayed case is scheduled to begin Friday.

In the case, prosecutors claim to have identified the girl in the videotape, who is now in her 20s. Kelly's lawyers are planning to argue - and the alleged victim will reportedly testify - that she is not the girl in the tape, according to the Sun-Times.

But the new witness could weaken that defense, since she will identify the girl - and claim the girl was underage - sources reportedly told the paper.

"She was involved in a threesome with [the girl] and R. Kelly," one source reportedly said.

Lawyers involved in the case declined to comment to the paper, citing a gag order. The witness' testimony was among the items discussed in secret hearings last month before Judge Vincent Gaughan, who closed the hearings to the public and sealed many court filings (several news organizations have attempted to unseal the proceedings and documents). At one of those hearings, Gaughan said the new testimony would be admissible at trial, sources said.

Kelly was charged with 21 counts of child pornography in 2002 (seven of which were later dropped) for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with a girl prosecutors said was 14 years old at the time; he pleaded not guilty

FINALLY. I want this trial to be long, gruesome, dragged out, everything. A real SVU trial. NO PLEAS!

^^^ has SVU done an episode based on Rrah?

Not yet! That's why I need this to go to trial, so the SVU writers can know how it ends!

I can't freaking wait. The dude cop is going to be all angry and want to start a fight. And that's okay, because he is faw-ine.

THE VERDICT HAS BEEN REACHED!

It will be read this afternoon!

NOT EFFING GUILTY. Per TMZ, "Urine the clear."

Y'all betta get right with God if R Kelly got a not guilty verdict.

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- It took six years to get to trial, but a jury has acquitted R&B singer R. Kelly of child pornography after less than a day of deliberations.

Judge Vincent Gaughan is scheduled to read the verdict later Friday afternoon.

The jury of nine men and three women includes the wife of a Baptist preacher from Kelly's Chicago-area hometown, as well as a compliance officer for a Chicago investment firm and a man in his 60s who emigrated from then-Communist Romania nearly 40 years ago.

As they left the courtroom to deliberate, jurors took the sex tape at the center of the trial with them, and a monitor was set up in the jury room in case they wanted to review it.

Kelly is charged with 14 counts of videotaping himself having sex with an underage girl, who prosecutors say was as young as 13. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison. He would also have to register as a sex offender in Illinois.

The 41-year-old superstar, who has pleaded not guilty, was charged in 2002. His trial was repeatedly delayed, once because the judge seriously injured himself falling off a ladder and another time because Kelly had emergency surgery to remove his appendix.

I laughed.

On the real, I had to check to see if it was April Fool's Day and not Friday the 13th. :rolleyes: It's amazing.

I am so blown.

At what point does personal resposibility become a factor in this equation? I see piss comin' I run. She saw piss comin' she stayed. And why should I miss out on the next R. Kelly album JUST fo' that?

Better to be blown than pissed on.....LOL

Uh...if this lawsuit was about a grown woman consensually being pissed on, you'd have a point. I won't ask how often you've seen piss comin', btw.

I don't listen to RKelly music beyond what the radio station plays. He definitely became more talented, made better music, and more handsome as he aged. I still only like a couple of his songs: "Did you ever think..." and "Fiesta." I think that's it.

I have lost all of my R Kelly cd's thankfully, and I'll never buy another one. I'll admit that R Kelly is a very talented producer and artist, but he's disturbed, and I can't listen to what he has to sing about knowing what I've seen with my own eyes.

He got away with it, but the man needs some professional help.

seems appropriate. p.s. i actually like this video, jayz is so the man.

I knew this would happen. All they had was a tape with a mole that wasn't showing up consistantly and a few witnesses who conflicted left and right. They couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was him, so what did we all expect after hearing the "evidence"?

BTW-(Has anyone seen this tape? I haven't, but does it look like him at all?! Could it be mistaken or would you believe it to be R. Kelly? From what I heard it sure looks like him, but that is all from people who don't know him nor have they seen him in person. Obviously most of you probably haven't either, just want to see what the perspectives are.)

I hope no one will admit to having watched the tape of that grown man having sex with a teenager.

well, curiousity gets the best of folk. i've seen many of videos for the sake of them just being out.

*in no way is this an admission, i have not seen the R Kelly tape.

You've seen many videos of underage people having sex with adults?

no maam. im just saying, an "infamous" video becomes that way because the buzz is afloat that some part of you just HAS to see it. Underage people having sex with adults really isn't my bag.

Im thinking more along the lines of celeb sex tapes, whether they were leaked or intentionally put out.

and maybe "many" was a bad choice of words. i've seen a couple videos that in retrospect, i was better off not looking at. darn curiousity!

Whew...you had me nervous real quick. :)

People can watch whatever adult porn they want, celeb or not.

Watching a sex tape of an adult and an underaged person is a whole new beast. Curiosity my arse. I remember when the tape first leaked and it was sold on the street corners and stuff. Police were threatening to arrest people on child porn charges. A couple of my dumbarse boys were saying "she didn't look like a kid...she was taking it like a woman." :rolleyes: That's what many pedophiles say.

whew! glad we got that cleared!

yeah i couldnt believe the gall of bootleggers putting that stuff out for a quick buck. theres no amount of curiousity that would make me buy an illegal DVD of alleged child porn. what do you tell your peoples when youre charged in court?

That you "were curious." :mad:

Awww, Riley. Everyone's favorite little gangsta.

I'm not surprised at all. This should have been an airtight case. The proof is the video, right? But, another weak prosecution led to a celebrity acquittal. Our tax dollars at work, everyone.

Ok, I'll admit it, but I was DUPED!
 

I'm soooo late on this, but back to the original post:

If an adult woman and an adult man have a threesome with an underaged child, why is he the only pedophile? He's a pedophile, and she's a star witness. I'll admit that I saw a piece of the video. A guy friend gave it to me labeled as Madea's Family Reunion & told me to watch it. As soon as I saw what it was, I turned it off & called to give him a few choice words. He thought it was hilarious. I failed to find the humor. I'm not really a porn fan, and I definitely don't want to watch a child have sex. However, from the few seconds I saw, I don't recall another woman being in it. That means that the jury is just supposed to take her word for it? I would imagine that anyone who saw the tape & knows the youngster could identify her. To me, that key witness strategy sounded flimsy anyway.

Agreed. I'm disturbed by some people's responses to the verdict on this thread, actually.

Don't hate me!
 

Okay...OKAY. I ADMIT IT. My college roomie got a hold of it and asked if I was even a little bit curious to know if it was really him or not. I knew what it was and that it was wrong but my "curiosity" (I put that in quotes because it was prolly the DEVIL:mad:) got the better of me. I only watched about 60 seconds until I started getting queasy and left the room praying but MOLE BE DAMNED, that was the Playground Pimp himself. The tape was a little fuzzy and the feed wasn't good, but I know Mr. Bump and Grind when I see him. I feel bad for that girl, but he can go rot. This morning the radio station played "My First Teenage Love Affair" by Alicia Keys and dedicated it to him. I almost drove off the road laughing.

BTW, this is clearly Jacko all over again. I just wanna point that out.

DST...uuuhhh that was a quote from The Boondocks....not me dear.

I am guessing in addition to not listening to R Kelly's music, you don't watch the Boondocks either...am I correct?

Trapped in the cupboard

Yeah yeah....

I left you the clip for a reason...

I saw that episode when it first aired. I didn't automatically recognize Riley's quote, although I laughed at it when I saw the episode, or notice the "- Riley" in your post.

As long as you don't share Riley's sentiment. Some people do.

no sweetie, I don't...It was............ 'poignant' ..........for the situation at hand.

:rolleyes:
