A second accuser took the stand at R. Kelly’s sex-trafficking trial on Monday, testifying that the star abused her, knowingly infected her with herpes and ordered her to have an abortion.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe No 5, said her five-year relationship with Mr Kelly began in 2014, when she was 17.
She alleged that the singer sought to control every detail of her life and would punish her if she did not comply.
Mr Kelly, 54, has denied the allegations against him.
