Two alleged victims took the stand Monday to recount alleged sexual encounters with Kelly that took place more than two decades ago - when both claim they were underage fans of the singer.'I told him I didn't want to have sex': 2 say they were sexually abused by R. Kelly while underage "Pauline" spent around two hours at the witness stand, describing her many sexual encounters with the singer that she said began when she was 14 years old, after she walked in on Kelly and her 14-year-old friend, "Jane," in the distinctive, log cabin-themed jacuzzi room in Kelly's Lake View mansion.
"Tracy" testified that she met Kelly while she was an intern for Epic Records, and that the singer came on to her even after she told him she was just 16. Now 40, Tracy's voice cracked as she testified about about an early encounter with the singer at his Chicago studio, when Kelly allegedly masturbated in front of her after she refused to perform a sex act.
Pauline said she did identify Jane in a still image from the video when questioned by police in 2001, but only because her mother was in the interrogation room alongside detectives.Kelly attorney Jennifer Bonjean's cross-examination of the two women was some of the most lively of the trial, now in its third week.
