Witness IDs Kelly In Child Porn Tape

Singer's former assistant '110%' certain it's him

Share

(Newser) – Witnesses in the R. Kelly child-porn case have identified the singer and a young teen girl in a sex tape, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. “I didn't want to think it was them,” said Kelly’s former assistant, but on a second viewing, she was “110%” certain. The girl would come to Kelly's studio "after school and do her homework," once even showing up with an overnight bag, the aide said.
