The now 24-year-old mum-of-three says she was invited onto his tour bus in Chicago when she was just a teenager
A WOMAN who claims she had underage sex with R. Kelly says she was "trained" to please him.
Jerhonda Pace says she was 16-years-old when she was invited onto his tour bus and found him nude with another woman who was there to show her how to "please" the singer in Chicago.
The age of consent in the state of Illinois is 17.
In an interview with she says she met the Ignition singer outside his trial for possessing indecent images of children.
Jerhonda, now a 24-year-old mum-of-three said: "I went out there to his tour bus and you have him naked and you have her naked.
"And I'm looking like, 'OK, what is this?
"Because Rob [Kelly] is the one who took my virginity, so I was like, 'What's going on?' And he said, 'Don't worry about it.'
"I guess he saw that I was looking uneasy.
"I wanted to know what am I doing. That's when he told me to look at her and [said], 'She's going to teach you everything you need to know. She's going to please you.'
"He told me to remove my clothes."
In the interview she added that the singer would "physically harm" her as well as "lock her in a room for days" as punishment.
She has previously claimed the star was holding women against their will at homes around the country in a kind of "cult".
Jerhonda claims she was only able to escape when she told the singer she had to pick up some shoes from a nearby uncle's home and never returning.
She is currently suing Kelly who has in the past made cash settlements with other women who claim they have been mistreated.
The 50-year-old singer has repeatedly denied allegations of underage sex and "cult" claims that he was holding women and exerting control over all aspects of their lives.
He said he was "alarmed and disturbed" by the allegations.
His lawyer, Linda Mensch said: "Mr. Kelly unequivocally denies such accusations and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name."
In July another young woman whose family claimed she was being held against her will by R&B star R Kelly has revealed she is safe and "in a happy place."
Joycelyn Savage spoke out after her family sensationally alleged she was being held by the "Bump n Grind" star at a secret location in Atlanta.
They claimed she was "one of many young women" the 50-year-old singer had targeted over the years and has been keeping at two locations.
But Joycelyn then came forward to tell US entertainment news site that she was 'in a happy place'.
"I'm 21, I'm about to be 22 in a few days and I just mainly want to say that I am in a happy place with my life and I'm not being brainwashed or anything like that," she said.
"It just came to a point where it definitely has got out of hand. I'm totally fine. I'm happy where I'm at and everything is OK with me."
When asked if she was being held against her will, she said: "Oh no, nothing like that. I've never felt like a hostage or anything like that."
Though she insisted she was 'fine', she refused to answer if she was free to come and go from the house or reveal where she was.
Her worries parents said Kelly first met their daughter backstage at a concert in Atlanta last year.
Then she said he invited her to fly out to a concert.
The last time mother Jonjelyn saw her daughter was in December, 2016, reports Buzzfeed.
“It was as if she was brainwashed. [She] looked like a prisoner - it was horrible,” she said.
On Monday, we told how Kelly had hit back at the reports.
It was reported the women are only allowed to use mobile phones provided by Kelly, must call him "daddy," and can only eat, sleep or wash when he lets them.
Fifty-year-old Kelly also films their sexual encounters, say the reports.
A lawyer for the star insisted he's done nothing wrong and is just paying the price for his fame.
However, three former members of the tar's entourage allegedly confirmed much of the allegations.
Cheryl Mack, a PA for Kelly from 2013 to 2014, told BuzzFeed women are initially enticed by the thought of a lavish lifestyle.
Mack reportedly said: "You have to ask for food. You have to ask to go use the bathroom. [Kelly] is a master at mind control... he is a puppet master."
According to Mack, and two other members of his inner circle (Kitti Jones, and Asante McGee), the women living in his Georgia guest house and Chicago recording studio last summer included:
However, BuzzFeed reports checks by police in Illinois and Georgia both found nothing worthy of official charges.
The women, who have not been named, are all of legal consenting age and the youngest, an 18-year-old singer, apparently told Cook County police she was "fine and did not want to be bothered."
Kelly has a long history of allegations of sexual misconduct.
He was acquitted in 2008 on charges of making child pornography, despite a videotape of an alleged encounter with a 14-year-old girl being shown to prosecutors.
It was also reported Kelly and a then 15-year-old singer protege Aaliyah were illegally married in a secret wedding ceremony on August 31, 1994.
Kelly was said to have been introduced to the teen singer by her uncle, just three years prior when she was 12 years old.
The marriage was annulled in February 1995 at the behest of Aaliyah's family by a Michigan judge.
Kelly and Aaliyah, however, both denied that the marriage occurred and even denied that their relationship ever moved beyond friendship.
Linda Mensch, a lawyer who represents the superstar, responded to the new accusations outlined in this story.
She was asked about claims Kelly mentally abuses women and that he allegedly met one of the women in his inner circle when she was 17.
“We can only wonder why folks would persist in defaming a great artist who loves his fans, works 24/7, and takes care of all of the people in his life,” Mensch wrote in an email.
“He works hard to become the best person and artist he can be. It is interesting that stories and tales debunked many years ago turn up when his goal is to stop the violence; put down the guns; and embrace peace and love. I suppose that is the price of fame.
"Like all of us, Mr. Kelly deserves a personal life. Please respect that.”
