The famous American singer R Kelly continues to face sexual assault charges. In effect, Jane (pseudonym), one of the producer’s accusers recently testified before a jury, regarding the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of the artist. Thus, the victim, now 37 years old, indicated having had sexual relations several “hundreds” times with R Kelly before she was 18. According to her, these relations with the artist began when she was 15 years old. In front of the jurors, Jane let it be known that she had asked R Kelly to be her godfather, when she was 13 years old.
“Countless times”
She said she did indeed see the man as a mentor and inspiration. The first touching took place when the victim was 14 years old, in a recording studio in Chicago. When prosecutors asked Jane how many times she had sex with R Kelly before she turned 18, she replied: “Countless times. Hundreds “. Note that the director began to face charges including abuse of minors, a few years ago. For a similar case, the Federal Court of Brooklyn sentenced him to 30 years in prison last June.
This court had condemned him for having been at the head of a ” system “ sexual exploitation of young people for several years. According to several journalists present during the trial, following the pronunciation of the sentence, R. Kelly remained silent. During the last indictment, the prosecutors had demanded a minimum of twenty-five years in prison. They justified this by the danger that the 55-year-old man represents, in particular for public opinion. The prosecution also qualified him as “impudent, a manipulator, controlling and coercive, showing no sign of remorse or respect for the law”.
