The under age girl from the infamous R. Kelly sex tape, that circulated widely throughout barber shops and local bars in the early 2000s, testified in court yesterday that R. Kelly had sex with her 'hundreds' of times before she turned 18...

A woman who has been central to R. Kelly's legal troubles for more than two decades testified Thursday that the R&B singer had sex with her 'hundreds' of times before she turned 18 years old, starting when she was just 15.
Jane - the pseudonym for the now 37-year-old woman at Kelly's trial on child pornography and obstruction of justice charges - told jurors that in the late 1990s when she was 13, she asked the Grammy award-winning singer to be her godfather because she saw him as an inspiration and mentor.
Within weeks, she said, Kelly would call her and say sexual things.
He first touched her breasts and other parts of her body when she was around 14 at a Chicago recording studio, she testified, and that around that time, he 'started penetration' at his home at his North Side Chicago home.
Jane said she was 15 when they first had intercourse. Kelly, 55, would have been around 30 years old at the time.
Sometimes, she testified, they would have sex with other teenage girls she would recruit at Kelly's request.
With her testimony on Thursday, Jane served as the first former victim to speak out about what she allegedly endured in the R&B star's ongoing trial.
He stands charged in Chicago federal court with enticing of minors for sex, producing child pornography and rigging his 2008 pornography trial.
Prosecutors say Kelly paid off and threatened Jane and her family to ensure that she didn't testify at a similar 2008 trial. She didn't, and he was ultimately acquitted.
Now, though, Kelly, 55, is serving a 30-year prison sentence for his conviction in a New York earlier this year on other federal charges alleging he used his fame to sexually abuse fans over several decades.
Two other minor victims are also expected to testify in the Chicago trial, which is expected to last about a month.
