R. Kelly’s underage sex trial starts
The R‘n’B singer is accused of videotaping himself having intercourse with
an underage girl – who prosecutors claim was just 13 – in January 1998.
There is also allegedly footage of Kelly having sex with the girl again,
dating from November 2000.
In an opening statement, one prosecutor warned the jury it would have to
watch a video showing an "underage child performing sex acts that you have
never seen before."
Kelly refutes the charges, with defense lawyers claiming he is not the man
seen on camera.
In their opening statement, Kelly’s lawyers questioned the origins of the
videotape and also questioned the identity of the girl.
Their argument is supported by the now 23-year-old woman who denies
prosecutors’ claims she is the person on the tape.
