R Kelly accused of grooming 14-year-old girl as 'sex pet'
In a BBC3 documentary, former girlfriend Kitti Jones alleges the R&B star groomed an underage girl as well as her and other young women; Kelly has refused to comment
The R&B singer R Kelly has been accused of sexually abusing a girl since she was 14 years old.
The allegation ? the latest in a string of allegations of the sexual abuse of young women by Kelly ? was made, referring to another woman, by former girlfriend Kitti Jones, in a BBC3 documentary to be aired on 28 March.
During two years of dating Kelly from 2011 onwards, Jones, 34, says she was groomed by him, and forced to have sex with him and others at least 10 times in a ?sex dungeon?.
She said: ?I was introduced to one of the girls, that he told me he ?trained? since she was 14, those were his words. I saw that she was dressed like me, that she was saying the things I?d say and her mannerisms were like mine. That?s when it clicked in my head that he had been grooming me to become one of his pets. He calls them his pets.?
Jones said Kelly made the unnamed woman ?crawl on the floor towards me and perform oral sex on me, and he said, ?This is my fucking pet, I trained her. She?s going to teach you how to be with me.?? It is unclear how old the woman was at the time of this incident.Kelly or his representatives made no comment to the BBC or the Guardian, but he has previously denied accusations of sexual impropriety or violence against women.
In 2008, Kelly was found not guilty of child pornography charges after he was accused of filming and photographing sexual encounters with a 14-year-old girl. He has reportedly made out of court settlements with various other women, including in 1996 Tiffany Hawkins, who said she had a sexual relationship with him for three years from the age of 15.
