“’He’s a genius and I’m a genius. We should be allowed to do whatever we want,’” recalled the third 'Jane Doe' to take the stand in the singer’s sex abuse trial.
Stephanie, now 39, said she met Kelly, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, when she was 16 at what’s referred to as the “Rock ’n’ Roll” McDonalds in Chicago during the summer of 1998. She was there on a double date with her boyfriend and two friends. Under direct examination, she told Assistant U.S. Attorney Nadia Shihata that she was standing at the cash register by herself when one of Kelly’s assistants approached her.
Stephanie testified that the following summer, she was working as a barista at a downtown Chicago hotel and heard about an event Kelly would be attending at the Nike store near her job. She decided to go to see if he remembered her and to ask if he’d listen to her friend sing. When asked by the prosecution what was going on in her life at the time, Stephanie said she had been experiencing hardships, including being sexually traumatized by family, her first boss and men on the street.A week or so after meeting at the Nike store, she said, she took a bus to his studio, as they had previously discussed. After buzzing the intercom and being escorted up to the studio, she waited hours for Kelly to join her.
Kelly wanted her to call him “Daddy.” She said their relationship lasted about six months and she saw him six to eight times a month, mostly at the studio. She said that he “orchestrated” their encounters, instructing her to make certain sounds or stay in certain positions. There were times when he would tell her to undress and stay in a certain position “for hours” while she was “waiting there for him to come and have his way.
“He mentioned that ‘he likes young girls and that people make such a big deal of it. Even look at Jerry Lee Lewis, he’s a genius and I’m a genius. We should be allowed to do whatever we want. Look at what we give the world.’” Lewis is a musician who married his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown, in 1957. Brown later divorced Lewis,Stephanie also testified about an instance when the two were leaving one of his basketball games with two others in the car with them.
Defense attorney Nicole Blank Becker questioned Stephanie during cross-examination. Becker painted the relationship as a normal adult relationship, although Stephanie was 17 and Kelly was 32 at the time.
