R. Kelly accused of having 'traumatizing' sexual relationship with woman when she was 16

Another woman has come forward with explosive
allegations against R. Kelly, just one month after
rumors began swirling that the R&B singer is
holding several women in a "cult."
Jerhonda Pace, 24, told to Buzzfeed she was 16
when her sexual relationship with R. Kelly began in
2009. A year before, she said she attended the
R&B singer's child pornography trial and was
quoted in the news defending Kelly -- who was
acquitted of the charges.
"I didn’t have anybody to speak up on my behalf
when I was going through what I was going
through with him. He’s brainwashed them really
bad, and it kind of reminds me of Charles
Manson," Pace told Buzzfeed.
R. KELLY'S MAJOR CONTROVERSIES: FROM
AALIYAH TO ALLEGED 'CULT'
Pace claims she had a "traumatizing" sexual
relationship with Kelly for eight months where he
mentally abused her and filmed the two having sex
without the then-teenager's consent.
"I had to call him 'daddy,' and he would call me
'baby.' He wanted me to have two pigtails, and I
had to go out and find little schoolgirl outfits,"
Pace told Buzzfeed .
Pace alleged she told Kelly she was 16 and even
showed him her state ID. She told Buzzfeed the
relationship ultimately ended when Kelly caught
Pace texting a friend.
"I was slapped and I was choked and I was spit
on," Pace said.
Pace -- who never went to the police about Kelly's
alleged sexual abuse -- claimed she signed a non-
disclosure agreement and received a settlement
from the singer with the help of Chicago attorney
Susan E. Loggans.

IS BEING COACHED IN VIDEOS
Kelly had vehemently denied allegations , sparked
by another Buzzfeed report, that he held women in
a "cult" and dictated all their movements.
"Mr. Kelly unequivocally denies such accusations
and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his
accusers and clear his name," the singer's lawyer
said in a statement to Fox News in July.
Three women spoke to the news site stating
they'd spent years with the singer and were
required to call him "daddy."
"No. You have to ask for food. You have to ask to
go use the bathroom…a master at mind
control...He is a puppet master," accuser Cheryl
Mack said.
