Explosive testimony from a witness.

The federal trial for the former R&B singer who is accused of sexual trafficking, child pornography and exploitation of a minor is underway. The former R&B singer was criminally charged in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis and Los Angeles.

He has alleged victims ranging from 12 to 19 at the time. Most states have age of consent at 18 years old.

The sexual predator allegedly slept with underage girls and boys. He denies the charges.

Jerhonda Pace resumed her testimony in the predator's sex-trafficking trial, alleging that she was subject to strict rules from the R&B singer for sexual encounters he would often videotape when she was a minor.

Pace resumed her testimony in Brooklyn federal court a day after telling jurors she was a 16-year-old virgin and a member of singer’s fan club when he invited her to his mansion in 2010. While there, she said, she was told to follow "Rob’s rules" — restricting how she could dress, who she could speak with and when she could use the bathroom.

She said the predator sometimes demanded she wear pigtails and "dress like a Girl Scout" during sexual encounters that the predator often videotaped.

On cross-examination, defense attorney Deveraux Cannick sought to show that Pace mixed up dates about when she interacted with the predator and that she deceived him by at first lying about herself.

"You were in fact stalking him, right?" Cannick asked.

"That is not right," she responded.

His questioning fit a theme that defense lawyers have repeatedly pushed early in the trial: The predator was victimized by groupies who hounded him at shows and afterward, only to turn against him years later when public sentiment shifted against him, they allege.

To bolster their claims against the predator, prosecutors showed jurors screenshots from Pace’s phone showing several communications with him in January 2010, including a text from him reading, "Please call." There was also a photo of her with "Rob" tattooed to her chest. She said she’s since "covered it up with a black heart."

Pace, the trial's first witness, was among multiple female accusers — mostly referred to in court as "Jane Does" — expected to testify at a trial scheduled to last several weeks. Other likely witnesses include cooperating former associates who have never spoken publicly before about their experiences with the predator.

Victim shares her story about how the singer made her dress like a girl scout.

The 54 year old predator has denied accusations that he preyed on Pace and other victims during a 30-year career highlighted by his smash hit "I Believe I Can Fly," a 1996 song that became an inspirational anthem played at school graduations, weddings, advertisements and elsewhere.

The openings and testimony came more than a decade after him was acquitted in a 2008 child pornography case in Chicago. The reprieve allowed his music career to continue until the #MeToo era caught up with him, emboldening alleged victims to come forward.

The women’s stories got wide exposure with the Lifetime documentary "Surviving R. Kelly." The series explored how an entourage of supporters protected the predator and silenced his victims for decades, foreshadowing the federal racketeering conspiracy case that landed Kelly in jail in 2019.

The trial is occurring before an anonymous jury of seven men and five women. Following several delays due mostly to the pandemic, the trial unfolds under coronavirus precautions restricting the press and the public to overflow courtrooms with video feeds.

The New York case is only part of the legal peril facing the singer. He also has pleaded not guilty to sex-related charges in Illinois and Minnesota.
