R. Kelly's former PA identifies him in sex tape
Lindsey Perryman, who worked for Kelly on and off from 1999 to 2006, was
asked to view the video - which shows a man and teenage girl having sex - by
the state prosecutors late last year and confirmed she thought it featured
Kelly and the alleged victim.
Perryman stated the man looked like Kelly when she had first met him in
1999.
She said in court : "I was shocked. I was disturbed. I
didn't want to see any of this."
Perryman added: "The image that I saw looked like the girl. She has distinct
cheekbones, and the way she moves her mouth, the way she smiles, it's all
very distinctive. The image I saw looked and sounded exactly like her."
After rising from receptionist to personal assistant (PA) for Kelly,
Perryman would collect the girl from school and bring her to the studio,
where she would do her homework, or take her to his home.
Despite admitting she often saw the girl bring a pillow and overnight bag
with her, Perryman never believed anything untoward was going on between the
pair until she saw the video footage.
She said: "I had never seen him be inappropriate with anyone, and he had
never been inappropriate with me.
"There's never been any reason to walk away."
Perryman also praised the singer as a "great boss", adding: "I think so
highly of Mr. Kelly and his family."
