R. Kelly’s former goddaughter testifies he had sex with her ‘hundreds of times’ when she was a minor

R. Kelly’s former goddaughter gave damning testimony about the R&B legend in court on Thursday — claiming he had sex with her “hundreds of times” when she was a minor and forced her to pose as prostitute to shut her up.

The now-37-year-old woman, known only as “Jane,” described how Kelly videotaped himself having oral sex with her at his home in Chicago when she was 14 years old, during the fourth day of the singer’s federal child pornography trial.

She said the disgraced singer gave her Champagne, instructed her to refer to her genitalia as “14 years old” then urinated on her, according to the Chicago Tribune.

In another video from around the time, Kelly was shown handing her money before having sex with her in his wood-paneled jacuzzi room, she testified.

Asked by a prosecutor why the superstar had given her cash, Jane burst into tears on the stand.

“Because if anybody saw the tape or if it was released for some reason he would say I was a prostitute,” she said.

Jane testified that the Grammy-winning star had sex with her “innumerable times” after that, sometimes along with other teenage girls whom Kelly requested that she recruit.

Two of the other minor victims are expected to testify against Kelly later in the trial. Jurors are also expected to be shown video footage of the star having sex with minors.

Prosecutors have alleged that the singer paid off Jane and her family so she wouldn’t testify in his 2008 child pornography trial. He was ultimately acquitted in that case.

Kelly, 55, now faces a 13-count federal indictment, including charges for child pornography and obstruction of justice.

John Kerry’s Office of Special Presidential Climate Envoy Redacts Every Staffer’s Name in Response to FOIA Request

Who did John Kerry hire (paid for by taxpayer money) to work in the ‘Office of Presidential Climate Envoy’?

Joe Biden’s ‘Special Presidential Climate Envoy’ John Kerry has been operating in secret for the past year-and-a-half.

Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) filed a FOIA lawsuit in an effort to obtain emails between John Kerry’s office and various climate change groups.

The emails turned over to PPT from John Kerry’s office were heavily redacted.

Not one staffer’s name was revealed.

What is John Kerry hiding?

Fox News obtained the documents from PPT.

“It hardly seems in the public interest, in fact it appears the antithesis of serving the public interest, to hide the names of government officials who are communicating with controversial outside activist organizations that are attempting to influence government policy,” PPT director Michael Chamberlain told Fox News Digital.

Fox News reported:

The office of Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry redacted each of the names and emails of their staffers in emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Fox News Digital obtained the documents from government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT), which revealed the correspondence between Kerry’s office and several recipients, including nearly 20 climate change groups.

PPT was only able to obtain the documents after suing Kerry’s office over unfulfilled FOIA requests. However, the emails have every staffer’s name and email redacted.

“The State Department’s attempts to keep from the public the names of every one of their employees involved in these communications stands in stark contrast to the attorney general’s declaration that ‘transparency in government operations is a priority of this administration,'” Chamberlain continued.

“State’s attempts to conceal the identities of the officials participating in these conversations was so excessive they first attempted to conceal the name of the person whose documents we requested in the first place,” he added.

According to the documents, the redactions were made under the FOIA exemption (b)(6) for “personal privacy information.”

It is unclear why Kerry’s office is redacting the names and emails of the federal employees he oversees, who are all paid with taxpayer dollars.

The FOIA redactions only raise more questions than answers and could hint at controversial hires in the office — a pre-eminent feature across the Biden administration.

The most ‘transparent’ administration in US history (besides Barry Obama’s).
