A new witness has emerged in R Kelly’s ***************** case:

A woman is set to testify at R. Kelly’s upcoming ***************** trial that she had a three-way sexual encounter with Kelly and the allegedly underage girl shown in the video at the heart of the case. The 41-year-old R&B superstar is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a girl estimated to be 13 or 14. He has pleaded not guilty. Jury selection is set to begin Friday. As part of the case, prosecutors claim to have identified the girl in the videotape. This alleged victim is now in her 20s. Kelly’s lawyers plan to argue — and the alleged victim will reportedly testify — that she is not the girl in the tape. But the prosecution’s new witness could undermine that defense, since she will identify the girl, sources with knowledge of the matter told the Chicago Sun-Times. In addition, the witness is expected to say the girl was underage at the time of their encounter.

“She was involved in a threesome with [the girl] and R. Kelly.”

SMH. This cat is truly sick, smashin not one, but two little girls at the same time? They need to lock his ass up for good.

 An Austrian woman has told police how she was held captive in a cellar for 24 years and abused by her father, falling pregnant six times.
The 42-year-old - named yesterday only as Elisabeth F - said she was drugged, handcuffed and dragged into the adapted cellar beneath the family home in 1984 and there since.

Her 73-year-old father, "Josef F", has been arrested on suspicion of incest and keeping his daughter in captivity.

Of her six children, a 19-year-old woman and two sons, aged five and 18, were said to have been kept with her in the cellar and to have never seen daylight until rescued. Three others - a boy and two girls aged 12 to 16 - were allowed to attend school after being "adopted" by Miss F's father and his wife who live in Amstetten, central Austria.

Miss F told police that she gave birth to twins in 1996, but one died days later because it was not properly cared for. Police said her father took the corpse and burned it.

Miss F's father told friends and family that his daughter had disappeared and only contacted him occasionally by mail. He also claimed that she had entrusted the three school children to him by leaving them on his doorstep with a note saying she was unable to care for them. Police said the existence of the others was apparently unknown even to the man's 66-year-old wife.

"They are all in psychological care in a secure institution in a clinic here in this area," a spokesman said. "They are being cared for individually - those between 12 and 16 years of age who grew up with their grandparents, and two boys who, when they came out yesterday with their mother, saw the daylight for the first time in their lives."

Last night, police began to search the family's three-storey house. A series of locks and trapdoors had kept the underground dungeon from being discovered, and they said the father has provided the entry code to the electronic lock on the entrance.

"There is not only one, but a number of rooms: one room to sleep in, one to cook, and there are also sanitation facilities," said Franz Polzer, head of the criminal investigations unit in Lower Austria. Miss F, who was badly malnourished, pale and deeply disturbed, was being treated at a psychiatric hospital.

The police issued a statement giving details of the alleged abuses Miss F had recounted, including being sexually abused by her father since age 11. She provided the day and date that her father lured her into the cellar.

The shocking case resembles that of Natascha Kampusch, 20, who was snatched from her way to school and spent eight years in a subterranean bunker near Vienna until she managed to free herself in August 2006.

Miss F's ordeal unravelled after her father took her 19-year-old daughter to hospital earlier this month with an unknown condition.

Doctors could not determine her illness and put the woman into an artificial coma. They called police for help to find the mother, Miss F, so she could provide a medical history. Police visited the family's home, where Miss F was last registered as living. After questioning the family, officers obtained a search warrant and discovered the cellar. DNA tests will be done on the children to determine their parentage.

A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: "This is a horrible shock. I've known the family for two decades and their children go to the same school as mine.

"There was never anything suspicious about them. They are a respectable family and the children always looked well-cared for."

A spokesman at the school that the "adopted" children attended said: "They are well behaved and have always had good notes in school."

It is suspected that the father wanted to create an impression that his daughter had joined a cult-like community, as he gave authorities a letter allegedly written by Miss F that read: "Do not try to find me, because it is futile and it could only increase my suffering and the suffering of my children."

Miss F reportedly has four siblings, all of whom have families of their own and are well-respected in the local community

Looks like T.I. might have a harder time serving his community than expected. The rap star has been barred from speaking at two Atlanta area school districts due to recent gang activity.

The Grammy award-winning rapper entered a guilty plea to three weapons charges last month and must perform 1000-1500 hours of community service, which includes speaking to youth about the dangers of gangs and guns.

Cobb County officials insist the rapper has not been permanently banned, but admit that recent troubles within the schools make T.I.'s appearance untimely. On the other hand, Fulton County schools said T.I.'s ban is a direct result of his gun conviction.
