The witness, referred to as Faith, also said one of the singer's employees tried to blackmail her so she wouldn't participate in the"Surviving R. Kelly" docuseries.In this May 7, 2019, file photo, R. Kelly arrives at the Leighton Criminal Court building for a hearing in Chicago.’s criminal trial testified this week that the R&B singer knowingly gave her herpes during their yearlong relationship.
Based on prior testimony, Kelly had been informed by his physician several years earlier that he had herpes. It’s illegal not to disclose you have herpes and still have sex with someone in both California and New York, two states in which Kelly had sexual encounters with Faith. Prosecutors repeatedly asked Faith if Kelly had ever told her he had herpes or any other sexually transmitted diseases. Faith responded that the singer never informed her he had any STDs including herpes. The first time the two had sex, in May 2017, Faith asked if Kelly had a condom and she recalled him saying, “I don’t need a condom.”
Faith sued Kelly in May 2018 for allegedly giving her herpes. Prosecutors showed a letter from Kelly to Faith’s attorney threatening to publish nude photos of Faith if she continued with the lawsuit. Unlike with past accusers, Faith did not say she was physically or sexually abused, but that she did have sexual interactions with the singer that made her feel uncomfortable. One specific sexual encounter in 2018 made her feel “intimidated,” she testified.When Faith went to visit Kelly in Los Angeles in January 2018, she said he punished her for not standing up and greeting him with a kiss when he came into the studio.
Prosecutors later showed a video of Faith and Kelly that Kelly took in the Los Angeles studio after the sexual interaction involving the gun. Although the video was not shown to the press, the audio was played. The video, which showed Kelly instructing Faith how to sit and how to speak to him, also had Kelly’s music playing in the background.
