Man Testifies Against R. Kelly In Court

R. Kelly Refuses To Testify At His Trial
More doom for R&B singer, R.Kelly has a man, Louis told a federal court on Monday how he was sexually assaulted at the age of 17 by the music star.

Gatekeepers News reports that Louis testified that R. Kelly lured him to his Chicago-area home in 2007 when he was a high school student with false offers of helping him with his fledgling music career.

According to him, Kelly asked “what I was willing to do for music,” and he replied, “I’ll carry your bags. … Anything you need, I’ll be willing to do.”

“That’s not it,” he said Kelly responded before asking him if he ever fantasised about having sex with men. He described how Kelly then “proceeded to give me oral sex,” even though, “I wasn’t into it.”

Afterwards, “he told me to keep (what happened) between him and me,” he said.

Louis further also narrated an incident in which Kelly “snapped his fingers three times” to summon a naked girl from where she was hiding under a boxing ring to give Kelly and the witness oral sex.

The witness admitted that he kept seeing Kelly after that because “I really wanted to make it in the music industry,” he said.

Similarly, a woman on Monday testified that Kelly sexually assaulted her at age 17 after a performance in Miami in 1994.

The witness claimed that after the show, Kelly’s associates took her and a friend to his dressing room, where he pulled down her shorts and forced her to have unprotected sex.

“I was in complete shock,” she said. “I didn’t know what to say at all. I basically went blank.”

Afterwards, she and her friend “unlocked the door and ran out of there,” she said.

On cross-examination, defence attorney Deveraux Cannick pressed the witness on why, after someone allegedly “raped you,” she waited more than two decades to contact law enforcement.

“Because I didn’t want to feel more shame and trauma,“ she said.

Gatekeepers News reports that the 54-year-old R&B singer has repeatedly denied accusations that he preyed on victims during a 30-year career and his lawyers have portrayed his accusers as groupies who are lying about their relationships with him.
