A woman is set to testify at R. Kelly’s upcoming child pornography trial that she had a three-way sexual encounter with Kelly and the allegedly underage girl shown in the video at the heart of the case.

The 41-year-old R&B superstar is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a girl estimated to be 13 or 14. He has pleaded not guilty. Jury selection is set to begin Friday.

As part of the case, prosecutors claim to have identified the girl in the videotape. This alleged victim 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 could undermine that defense, since she will identify the girl, sources with knowledge of the matter told the Chicago Sun-Times. In addition, the witness is expected to say the girl was underage at the time of their encounter.

“She was involved in a threesome with [the girl] and R. Kelly,” one source said.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers declined to comment, citing a gag order in the case.

The witness’ testimony was among the evidence discussed in secret hearings last month before Judge Vincent Gaughan. The judge, citing concerns about pretrial publicity, closed the hearings to the public and put multiple court filings under seal.

The Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune and the Associated Press filed a legal challenge to unseal the proceedings and documents, as did WBEZ-FM (91.5). Those challenges are still pending.

OHHHH....I have SO MANY questions. SIGH, where to begin?

1. So how old is the second chick?

2. Did she know how young this jump-off gone wrong was when they decided to play 'Menage A Teen" with the R.?

3. Did R. Kelly EVER consider dropping a official remix to his infamous sex tape? How about a fifteen part score, including a midget?

4. Do you think she called R. Kelly everyday after school and chatted until her mama got home and picked up the other end and said, "Lil girl, you better get off this phone?"

5. And finally (for now) who do I have to talk to, to get R. Kelly to rock this fit to the first day of opening arguments?
