R. Kelly faced fresh accusations at his sex-trafficking trial this week, after a second accuser said the singer forced her to have an abortion.
The woman, who has simply been identified as Jane Doe No. 5, also claims the I Believe I Can Fly singer knowingly infected her with herpes, and abused her throughout their five year relationship.
R. Kelly has denied all accusations put to him.

The anonymous woman, who is now 23, claims she met R.Kelly, 54, when she was 17 after he invited her up to his room after a gig in Orlando, Florida.
While the woman in question believed she was going up for an audition, the singer – real name Robert Kelly – reportedly insisted that she performed a sex life on him.
The woman alleges that they soon formed a relationship, in which Kelly would video their sexual escapades.
He then is thought to have implemented a strict set of rules she had to obey while they were together – if they were broken, Kelly would ‘chastise her’, with the woman claiming he would spank her so hard her skin “would tear.”

She also explained that she became pregnant in 2017, in which Kelly reportedly demanded she got an abortion she didn’t want.
She told the court: "He said, 'You need to look into that abortion stuff because you need to keep that body.’”
The woman’s accusations come after Jerhonda Pace testified last week. Both women have claimed the star forced them to call him "Daddy" and described how he ruled their lives – telling them how they had to dress, who they were permitted to speak to and even when they were allowed to use the bathroom.

Kelly’s defence lawyers have denied the claims put to the singer, portraying the women as being vengeful after their relationships with the singer came to an end.
The trial continues.
