R.Kelly Accused of Training Young Girl to Be His Sex “Pet” Since the Age of 14

The Guardian reports that more sexual misconduct allegations have come to light about R&B hitmaker R. Kelly. After reports in July 2017 surfaced about the singer allegedly running a “sex cult,” where he kept women hostage against their will and controlled their lives, the singer is now being accused of “training” a young girl to be his sex slave since she was 14 years old.

According to reports, in a BBC3 documentary set to air on March 28, a former girlfriend of the Chicago native named Kittie Jones claims that she was trained by Kelly to be his “pet”, and forced to continuously have sex with him and others in his “sex dungeon.”

“I was introduced to one of the girls, that he told me he ‘trained’ since she was 14—those were his words,” Jones says. “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 also mentions that Kelly made the 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.'”

The new allegations align with previous reports from another alleged victim, Jerhonda Pace, who told the hosts of The Real that Kelly was running a “sex cult.”

“The trainer, it’s a woman—she trains you to please him sexually,” Pace explained. “She told me how to please him, and she also taught me what I liked.” Detailing her first encounter, Pace remembered, “I got invited to his tour bus. I went out to his tour bus and you have him naked and her naked, and I’m looking like, ‘OK, what is this?’ Because Rob[ert Kelly] is the one who took my virginity.” Pace says Kelly told her not to worry, saying, “She’s going to teach you everything you need to know.”

“It’s very frightening,” Pace continued. “He would slap you in your face. He would physically harm you, and he would put you in a room, and he would lock you in a room for days.”

In the past, Kelly denied all allegations. His team has not come forward to comment on these new allegations.
