R. Kelly trial revelations: Biggest moments of Week 2 as singer faces more sex-crime charges

The second week of R. Kelly's federal trial in Chicago included detailed testimonies from an alleged victim's mother, the R&B star's former girlfriend and the star's former agent as the singer faces several sex-crime charges. 

Kelly is already sentenced to 30 years in prison after his New York federal trial ended in June. A conviction in Chicago could add decades to his sentence.

Court opened Monday with testimony from the mother of the anonymous woman prosecutors say R. Kelly sexually abused starting when she was 14. The woman, who is now 37 and identified as pseudonym Jane in court filings, testified last week that she was the subject of the videotape that was the center of Kelly's 2008 child pornography case.

Who is involved in R. Kelly's case in Chicago?

• Kelly, 55, faces 13 charges which include producing child pornography, enticing a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

• Two of Kelly's associates, Derrel McDavid and Milton Brown, are co-defendants in the trial and are accused of aiding Kelly in the alleged crimes.

• All defendants have denied any wrongdoing.

Here are the biggest happenings from the second week of the trial.

R. Kelly's ex-girlfriend says she was threatened for taking tapes

Lisa Van Allen, 42, testified Wednesday that Kelly's associate told her she should've been "murked," slang for killed, after taking incriminating tapes from Kelly's belongings.

Van Allen also testified against Kelly in the 2008 child pornography trial in which he was acquitted. On the stand Wednesday, Van Allen told jurors she took tapes from Kelly when he left his belongings unattended; one of the tapes featured herself, Kelly and the 14-year-old engaging in sexual activity. Van Allen said she wasn't aware the girl was 14.

The witness, crying and reaching for tissues during her testimony, said McDavid told her in 2007 that a polygraph had indicated she wasn’t truthful about one of the videos she handed back to Kelly's team. Kelly and his insiders were worried Van Allen had made other copies.

“He said that I failed (the lie-detector), and that they should have murked me from the beginning,” she testified, saying she took the comment as a threat.

Van Allen said she was in a nine-year relationship with Kelly in 1998 when she was 18. She described Kelly as obsessive and controlling and how he'd prohibit her from speaking to other men, adding Kelly would sometimes hit her.

Defense attorneys asked Van Allen why she didn't destroy the tapes if she didn't want anyone to see them. She answered, "I could have if that crossed my mind."

Defense: Agent extorted R. Kelly after finding child pornography tape

Kelly's lawyers called Kelly's former merchandising agent Charles Freeman, who said the R&B star offered $1 million to find and return the tape central to the singer's 2008 child pornography case, an extortionist during seven hours of often blistering cross-examination Wednesday.

"Your entire relationship with (Kelly) centered around stealing from him and lying to him," Kelly's attorney Jennifer Bonjean, raising her voice, told Freeman Wednesday. Minutes later, she added, "You were part of a shakedown scheme, right?" Freeman shot back, "No," adding "I am not a thief."

McDavid's lawyer Beau Brindley also questioned Freeman, asking him how many lies he's told surrounding Kelly's tapes.

Brindley also accused Freeman of lying when he testified that he found the video Kelly was looking for and didn't know its contents until he watched it later the same day. Brindley suggested Freeman already possessed a potentially compromising video of Kelly, using it to extort Kelly.

Agent alleges R. Kelly offered him $1M to recover child pornography tape

Freeman testified Tuesday that Kelly offered him $1 million to recover the tape in question that allegedly featured the singer sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl.

Freeman, 52, said Kelly reached out to him in 2001 asking him to hunt down the recording. He testified it took years for Kelly and his associates to pay him the full $1 million after Freeman found the tape in a Chicago home.

Freeman testified that he saw the tape after recovering it and testified that it showed "Robert Kelly with a young lady having sex."

When asked why it took Freeman nearly two decades to turn the tape over to police, Freeman responded: "Because the police wasn’t going to pay me a million dollars."

Mom testifies R. Kelly threatened family to lie about daughter in tape

The mother of the woman who testified during the first week of R. Kelly's trial took the stand Monday, telling jurors that she felt threatened by the R&B star. The witness, who used the pseudonym Susan in court, told the courtroom that her family lied ahead of Kelly's 2008 trial, telling the court at that time her daughter was not in the videotape.

Susan said they confronted Kelly at a hotel in the early 2000s about whether he was abusing their daughter and Kelly's response startled them as he allegedly told them, "You are with us or against us."

"We were very, very frightened," she told jurors.

She said Kelly and his associates gave them directives to lie to the grand jury and they did because "we feared for our lives and we were intimidated."

Kelly's attorney Bonjean questioned Susan about whether she truly felt her life was in any danger from Kelly or his associates. Bonjean also asked Susan why she and her husband continued to socialize with Kelly for the next 20 years after the hotel meeting. She answered that Kelly was their sole income for a period, paying her musician husband to work on recordings.

Bonjean highlighted Susan’s testimony that she lied to the Illinois grand jury, asking if she was "telling the truth now." Susan said she was.
