The disgraced singer, who has already been convicted of sex crimes in New York and faces up to 30 years behind bars, still has a day in court ahead of him. On Monday, his federal trial in Chicago — for which he faces similar charges and sentencing — is set to begin. In addition to the 4 accusers in this Chicago case – all of whom will testify – the woman Kelly was accused of urinating on tape at just 14 years old, among other heinous crimes, will also take the stand. to talk about the ’08 affair and her experience with him in general. According to new court filings, cited by the AP, prosecutors say the then-unidentified alleged victim — now in her 30s — will face allegations that R. Kelly falsified the case in 2008 in an attempt to obstruct justice … including allegedly paying off / threatening this woman at the time. Many will remember… Kelly was acquitted and released, largely because the alleged victim refused to cooperate and testify. Now, it looks like she’ll explain why this happened, from her perspective, for the first time. Her identity remained hidden all these years. There’s more… these new filings say prosecutors plan to replay the same VHS tape from ’08 in court as this current trial begins. In addition to this, there are reportedly at least 3 other videos that will be presented as evidence in court. It’s not clear if they all refer to 2008. Prosecutors allege R. Kelly had sex with/recorded the alleged 2008 victim hundreds of times between 1998 and 2000, a period when she was just 13 years old. They also acknowledge that some of these sex tapes were stolen and sold on the street. R. Kelly has pleaded not guilty, insisting all along that his accusers are lying.
