In R. Kelly's latest criminal trial, a woman has testified the disgraced R&B singer sexually abused her "hundreds" of times when she was under 18.

The 37-year-old woman, using the pseudonym Jane, told jurors that it was her on an infamous tape that allegedly shows Kelly sexually abusing an underage girl, and she said she was 14 at the time, The Associated Press reports. Kelly's 2008 trial on child pornography charges, which ended in his acquittal, centered around that tape.
