Accusers of veteran American singer, Robert Kelly, popularly
known as R-Kelly, have alleged in the court that the singer traffic underage
girls for his sexual desires.
The singer’s accusers are testifying before a federal Jury.
According to TMZ, sources directly connected to the case
said numerous witnesses testified before the grand jury, claiming Kelly’s team
secured travel at the singer’s direction to move them across state lines for
sexual purposes while they were underage.
According to the source, the grand jury is also hearing
testimony that could lead to obstruction of justice indictments.
One of the alleged victims testified Kelly’s team paid off
witnesses to NOT testify in the 2008 trial where Kelly was acquitted of child
pornography.
One of the families supposedly paid off by Kelly was the
family of the alleged victim in the 2008 trial.
Prosecutors claimed the girl in a sex tape that was
submitted into evidence was the goddaughter, but apparently, the jury was not
convinced, because she did not testify.
The grand jury is keying into allegations Kelly and his team
attempted to impact the outcome of the 2008 trial through witness intimidation
and threats of bodily harm.
The grand jury testimony also revealed that witnesses in the
2008 case were allegedly sent on vacation when the trial was underway so they
wouldn’t be available to testify.
The witnesses say Kelly’s team secured the 2008 witnesses’
travel.
