Sex tape is shown to jurors in R. Kelly's trial

CHICAGO (AP) — Jurors in R. Kelly's trial sat motionless as they watched the sex tape at the center of his child pornography case.

Prosecutors played the 27-minute homemade video just hours after opening statements, in which they accused the R-and-B singer of choreographing and starring in the footage with an underage girl.

At the start of the videotape, the man hands the female money and she mouths the words, “Thank you.” She is often blank-faced and impassive. The man speaks to the female in a hushed, monotone voice, and she calls him “Daddy.”

A grim-looking Kelly appeared to intently watch the entire footage on a small monitor placed on the defense table. He occasionally rocked in his chair and rested his chin in his hand.

Prosecutors say the man in the video is Kelly, and that the female is a girl who was as young as 13 at the time. Kelly claims that's not him on the tape.
