R. Kelly Accused of Training 14-Year-Old Girl to Be Sex ‘Pet’

Singer allegedly ordered girl to perform oral sex on another woman as part of a grooming exercise.

A former girlfriend of R. Kelly who has previously spoken out about the singer’s alleged “sex cult” has now accused him of training a 14-year-old girl to be his sex slave. In a BBC3 documentary due to air Wednesday, Kitti Jones says the R&B singer bragged to her about how he had “trained” the girl since she was 14. “I saw that she was dressed like me, that she was saying the things I’d say, and her mannerisms were like mine. That’s when it clicked in my head that he had been grooming me to become one of his pets. He calls them his pets,” Jones was quoted as saying by The Guardian. She said Kelly made the woman “crawl on the floor towards me and perform oral sex on me, and he said, ‘This is my fucking pet, I trained her.’” Numerous women have accused the star of brainwashing young women and subjecting them to various forms of abuse in what Jones has described as a “sex dungeon.” Kelly, who has repeatedly been accused of preying on underage girls and was tried but acquitted on child-pornography charges, has denied Jones’ claims.
