The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Prosecutors in the upcoming R. Kelly child pornography trial want to introduce evidence of other crimes allegedly committed by the R&B singer, court records show.
Kelly, 41, is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a girl estimated to be 13 or 14. Kelly, of Olympia Fields, has pleaded not guilty. Jury selection starts May 9th.
Prosecutors filed a motion April 1st, to allow evidence of other crimes, according to the case's docket sheet.
The motion appears to have been the subject of a two-hour, closed-door hearing Friday before Judge Vincent Gaughan. Kelly married singer Aaliyah, who is now deceased, when she was 15. Her parents later had the nuptials annulled.
