It's been ruled that an alleged male victim will be allowed to testify. The defense had been trying to keep him out arguing it'd be unfair to have him in case any of the jury were homophobic.

Hopefully he'll get his reckoning for being the Jimmy Saville of RnB.

Yes clearly the jury being homophobic is the part he needs to worry about 🙄

The trial of the US R&B singer R. Kelly has begun at a court in Brooklyn, New York.

The star is accused of racketeering, sexual abuse and bribery; charges which he has repeatedly denied.

Some of the allegations made against the singer - whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly - date back more than 20 years.

If he is convicted on all counts he could be sentenced to several decades in prison.

Opening statements are being delivered to a jury of seven men and five women, who will decide the 54-year-old singer's fate.

Kelly faces charges that he was the ringleader of a two-decade scheme where he recruited women and underage girls for sex.

"This case is about a predator," Assistant US Attorney Maria Melendez said in her opening statement.

"This case is not about a celebrity who likes to party a lot."

She described Kelly as "a man who used lies, manipulation, threats and physical abuse to dominate his victims and to avoid accountability for years".

"A man who for decades used his fame, his popularity, and a network of people at his disposal to target, groom and exploit young girls, boys and women for his own sexual gratification," she continued.

The Grammy-winning artist - wearing a gray suit, purple tie, and glasses - sat silently, his head down at times as the prosecution opened its case.

Melendez said Kelly's celebrity status meant he "had his pick of young fans" and that he hoarded his victims "like objects".

She said he used "every trick in the predator handbook".

Melendez alleged the singer used bodyguards, drivers runners, lawyers, and accountants to cover up crimes.

She also alleged that he bribed his victims by photographing and filming them having sex and then threatening to release the tapes.

Kelly is accused of requiring victims to demonstrate "absolute commitment" and obey strict rules, including that they eat or go to the bathroom only with his permission, not look at other men, and call him "Daddy."

He has pleaded not guilty and strongly denies any wrongdoing.

The trial, delayed several times by the pandemic and predicted to last about one month, is expected to include details about Kelly's alleged abuses, including testimony from some female accusers and at least one male accuser.

Even if he is acquitted, Kelly still faces sex-related charges in Illinois and Minnesota, where he has also pleaded not guilty.

Kelly has been in jail for the last two years. He was moved in June to Brooklyn from Chicago for the trial.

The singer is best known for hits including Ignition (Remix), I Believe I Can Fly, Bump n' Grind and If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time.

On her way into the court, BBC producer Monica Miller reported: "It's a sticky overcast Wednesday in Brooklyn. R Kelly supporters screamed 'Free R Kelly' as they walked by.

"The parents of Jocelyn Savage arrived. She lived with R Kelly and claims to be a victim."

For those of you worried about occasionally thinking a song R Kelly was on was catchy, and don’t want to support the guy, Lady Gaga did a remix of Do What You Want with Christina Aguilera taking his place on the track and not even factoring in his case I honestly think it sounds way better.
