According to the state, Kelly has a “dark side” that he kept hidden from the world behind his fame. Prosecutors allege Kelly’s “inner circle” helped the singer cover up his abuse and went to “extraordinary lengths” to do so.

Five accusers will testify in court, including the woman who claimed Kelly urinated on her on tape at the age of 14. 

Although her case was acquitted in 2008, largely due to her refusal to testify, the woman has agreed to finally speak out about her experience 14 years later.  Prosecutors claim Kelly abused her hundreds of times between 1998 and 2000, where she was as young as 13 years old. 

Federal prosecutors in Kelly’s New York case were able to prove that the R&B singer led a criminal enterprise that sought to lure women, boys and girls to him for his own sexual gratification.
