A woman testified at R. Kelly's sex abuse trial on Friday that she reached a $200,000 settlement with the R&B singer after she contracted herpes.

Prosecutors have been trying to show jurors in Brooklyn federal court that Kelly was careless toward alleged victims of his sexual practices, including multiple victims who claim he kept silent about transmitting disease through intercourse.

Kate said she settled with Kelly in 2004, and that the herpes diagnosis "greatly affected" her ability to enter future relationships. Kate told Cannick that Kelly behaved differently around her, letting her go to the bathroom when she wanted and not making her wait around for him for long periods. She also said she helped him write down song lyrics.

Known for songs such as "I Believe I Can Fly" and "Bump N' Grind," Kelly has faced sexual abuse accusations for nearly two decades.
