R. Kelly’s trial began earlier this week in Brooklyn and New details emerged regarding his relationship with Aaliyah.
According to reports, Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Maria Cruz Melendez’s opening statement alleged that R. Kelly and Aaliyah married in 1994.
At the time, Kelly was 27 and Aaliyah was 15 years old.
It was also revealed that prosecutors have reason to believe R. Kelly discovered Aaliyah suspected she was pregnant.
Kelly thought marrying Aaliyah would prevent her from testifying against him in court if it was revealed that he impregnated a 15-year-old girl.
The disgraced R&B singer is facing charges including forced labor, kidnapping, sex trafficking, and several violations of the Mann Act.
