CHICAGO (CBS) – R. Kelly kept "a hidden side, a dark side" to his life as he rose from poverty to music stardom, federal prosecutors told a jury Wednesday as they began making their case accusing Kelly of filming himself having sex with girls, and conspiring to rig his 2008 child pornography trial in Cook County.
Kelly is going on trial on a 13-count indictment, including child pornography and obstruction of justice charges. Two associates, former business manager Derrel McDavid and former assistant Milton Brown, are being tried alongside him.
