Update (8/18/22 4:15 p.m. EST): An alleged victim of R. Kelly, whose name has remained protected but who TMZ reported as his “former goddaughter”, testified in court on Aug. 18 that she had sex with the rapper “innumerable times” as a minor. The woman, 37, who goes by Jane for anonymity, said sexual relations between her and R. Kelly began when she was 14 years old when he fondled her breasts. The sexual advances developed over time, and she had sexual intercourse with him when she was 15.
Per TMZ, Jane had asked R. Kelly to be her godfather when she was 13 years old, and the sexual relations began shortly after. When asked why she did not refuse R. Kelly’s advances, she admitted she had a hard time saying, “No”, to someone who was supposed to be a trusted figure of authority to her. Eventually, the sexual relationship began to feel routine, and she stopped questioning it.
She also testified that she and R. Kelly would sleep with other girls her age at the same time.
