Witness Attests to Threesome With R. Kelly, Teen
According to the prosecution's so-called star witness, R. Kelly's relationship with a certain minor amounted to more than one videotape.
Lisa Van Allen testified Monday that, starting in late 1997 or early 1998, she participated in several threesomes with the R.B singer and the girl he's accused of making a sex tape with when she was only 13 or 14 years old.
Both the alleged victim, who's now 23, and Kelly - who has pleaded not guilty - have denied that they're the ones on the video.
But while Van

R&B star R. Kelly porn trial goes to Chicago jury
R&B star R. Kelly's child pornography trial went to the jury on Thursday with prosecutors calling him a sexual predator and his attorneys saying he is wrongly accused and possibly the victim of an extortion plot.
In closing arguments to the 12-person jury, Cook County Prosecutor Robert Heilingoetter said Kelly preyed on young girls and was clearly the man on a videotape exploiting a teenage protege as young as 13.
"The opportunity to hold him (Kelly) responsible ... will never come again," he told jur
R. Kelly Defense Rests
R. Kelly's lawyers have called it a case.
The defense in the R.B superstar's trial on kiddie-porn charges rested its case today, after spending only two days calling witnesses to counter prosecutors' charges that Kelly taped himself engaging in sex acts with a minor.
Cook County Criminal Court Judge Vincent Gaughan dismissed the jury following the brief morning session, which ended minutes after starting when Kelly's crew announced they had no intention of putting anybody else on the stand.
Prosecu
R. Kelly Jurors Must Watch Explicit Sex Tape
Jurors in the R. Kelly child pornography trial have been told they'll have to watch an explicit sex tape.
As opening statements got underway in Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday (20May08), prosecutors told the jury members the taped evidence they'll be shown features an "underage child performing sex acts that you have never seen before."
Cook County prosecutor Shauna Boliker added, "A child doesn't choose to be violated and placed on a videotape, a videotape that will live on forever - long after this chi
Victim Denies, Witnesses Insist in R Kelly Trial
The alleged woman in R.Kelly’s ongoing child pornography trial denies it is she, at age 13, in the video that generated the current state of affairs; four witnesses however have testified otherwise.

Law-enforcement officials say the video in question was made between Jan. 1, 1998, and N
Judge in R. Kelly trial orders reporter to court
The judge in R. Kelly's child pornography trial warned a newspaper reporter who failed to appear in court Tuesday that he must show up Wednesday or face contempt charges.
Judge Vincent Gaughan rejected arguments from Chicago Sun-Times lawyers that music critic Jim DeRogatis' rights as a reporter would be violated if he were ordered to testify. The judge said DeRogatis wasn't asked to appear "as a reporter" but "as a material witness to a crime."
Gaughan said Tuesday morning that he would consider or
R. Kelly acquitted of all child porn counts
A Chicago jury has acquitted R. Kelly on all counts at his child pornography trial.
The verdict came six years after the R.B superstar was first charged with videotaping himself having sex with a young girl. Prosecutors had said she was as young as 13 at the time.
The Grammy award-winning singer dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict was read. The singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.
Both Kelly and the now 23-year-old alleged victim
