Federal prosecutors rested their case Tuesday in R. Kelly's federal trial in Chicago, after a fourth woman took the witness stand to testify the singer sexually abused her when she was a girl.
She said Kelly, knowing she was 15 at the time, invited her to meet him on his concert tour in Minnesota, and had his staff arrange travel from Atlanta. Nia said she told her mom she was staying at friend's that weekend. She said she brought her cousins with her to the studio -- including one who later testified she was there to protect Nia – but during a brief amount of time Nia was alone with Kelly, said he kissed and groped her.
Jurors heard from more than two dozen witnesses for the prosecution over the past two weeks. Prosecutors said, in their opening statements, the jury would hear from five Kelly accusers, but the government rested its case after calling only four of those women to the stand – the pivotal witness"Jane,""Pauline,""Tracy," and"Nia."
Sheryl Ware, the ex-wife of Nia's cousin, was called to the stand before prosecutors rested their case Tuesday, confirming Nia's account that she spent the summer with relatives in Chicago in 1996.
42 year old women are not minors. The media has lied repeatedly on R. Where are the minors?
Pedophile behavior is more common then school in some communities in Chicago. I would like to know how does our gov plan to address this issue. Majority of the violence we see in our hoods are committed by children who are products of pedo behavior.
