Jerhonda Johnson Pace Testifies Against R.Kelly

We all know R. Kelly has been in the hot seat for a while. The documentary Surviving R.Kelly shed some light on his dark side. On Wednesday Jerhonda Johnson Pace, now 28, testified that she was such a big fan of Kelly’s that she attended the singer’s Chicago trial for state child pornography charges in 2008. Kelly was acquitted of the charges in June 2008. 

According to CNN Pace: “I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone I was spending time with him.” Pace said that day at his home, Kelly told her to walk past him and take off parts of her bathing suit, and that when she was nude, he performed oral sex on her. She said she felt uncomfortable and decided to tell him her real age. “I told him I was actually 16,” Pace testified.

She also revealed she had no communication with the outside world. It was a rule of R. Kelly’s to not have cell phones. The relationship ended in January 2010, Pace testified, after she and Kelly got into a fight when he got upset that she didn’t acknowledge him as he 

Pace testified that after she woke up, Kelly spat on her face. Kelly made her perform sexual acts as well. Kelly had asked her to retrieve a pair of high heels at a family member’s home nearby, and Pace testified she left his house and did not return.

 Prosecutors showed a copy of the settlement Pace entered when she was 16 as evidence in court. “In exchange for my silence, I would be paid $1.5 million — $1 million to myself and $500,000 to my attorneys,” Pace testified. Prosecutors have not responded to requests for comment on whether he is expected to testify in Kelly’s New York trial.
