The third week of the R. Kelly sex-trafficking trial in New York City saw more accusers -- including for the first time, a man -- coming forward with array of disturbing allegations and a former assistant providing a glimpse into how he lorded over his inner circle.

Defense attorneys for the 54-year-old "I Believe I Can Fly" artist continued to counter by saying his alleged victims had every opportunity to reject him after they say he sexually abused them starting when they were underage, but instead chose to take advantage of his lavish lifestyle.R. KELLY'S MINIONS

His minions have testified they were subject to deductions from their paycheck -- "fines" -- if they screwed up. Prosecutors say the crew members also were expected to turn a blind eye to the sexual abuse of women and girls, never daring to intervene. "It was the first time that I had ever seen Rob really upset," she said. "It wasn't the tone. It was the look in his eyes."Mayweather also provided a description of one the more bizarre displays of fealty toward Kelly.

Both said the garage had been converted into a gym, with a boxing ring, workout equipment and a sauna.
