Read our privacy policy R. Kelly paid $200,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by a woman who accused him of giving her herpes two decades ago without disclosing he had it, the woman testified on Friday at the R&B singer's sex-trafficking trial. The woman — testifying during the trial's third week without using her full real name — told a New York City jury she was 27 when she met Kelly through a mutual friend in 2001. It was the second time this week that jurors have heard testimony alleging Kelly gave a sex partner herpes — part of a case accusing him of leading a criminal enterprise that sexually exploited women, girls and even boys during a 30-year career highlighted by his anthem “I Believe I Can Fly.” Kelly, 54, has denied any wrongdoing.
