Latest News on R. Kelly 'taped underage sex acts'


Opening arguments have been made in the child pornography trial involving US R&B star R Kelly.

A prosecutor at the Chicago trial told jurors Mr Kelly had staged and taped "vile" sex acts with an underage girl.

But a lawyer for Mr Kelly said the video showed neither him nor the alleged victim.

The star has denied filming himself engaging in sex acts with a girl who prosecutors say could have been as young as 13.

In Tuesday's opening arguments, prosecutor Shauna Boliker told the jury they would "see the sex acts he commands her to do".

"Acts you have never seen before. Vile, disturbing and disgusting sex acts, actions that were choreographed, produced and starred in by Robert Kelly."
