WITNESS ADMITS THREESOME WITH R. KELLY AND VICTIM: Woman to testify in upcoming trial. Plus, Najee Ali plans protest Friday at courthouse.

(May 5, 2008)

*The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that a witness in R. Kelly's upcoming child pornography trial will testify that she had a three way sexual encounter with the singer and the allegedly underage girl depicted in a sex tape.

The 41-year-old R&B superstar has pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with a girl thought to be 13 or 14. As part of the case, prosecutors claim to have identified the girl, who is now in her 20s.

Kelly’s lawyers plan to argue — and the alleged victim will reportedly testify — that she is not the girl in the tape. But the prosecution’s new witness is expected to not only identify the girl in the tape, but testify that she was indeed underage at the time of the recording.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin at Chicago's Cook County Courthouse on Friday. Civil rights activist Najee Ali of Project Hope will lead a protest against Kelly at 8 a.m. Friday outside of the building, located at 2650 S California Ave.
