space, a full-sized basketball court, four outdoor swim- ming pools, a spa and staff quarters across a two-acre es- tate.

Jerhonda Pace says she was with R. Kelly when she was 16.
R. Kelly was accused of spearheading an abusive sex cult last month and now faces even more damning allega- tions surrounding those claims.
In a new report by Buz- zFeed, 24-year-old Jer- honda Pace has come forward to open up about her past sexual relationship with the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer. The former R. Kelly “superfan” claims to have met the R&B singer during his 2008 child pornography trial, one she says she skipped school to attend every day.
Although their encounter was brief, the Chicago na- tive said it led to an invitation to attend a party at Kelly’s Illinois mansion in
2009. A sexual and physi- cally abusive relationship stemmed from there. At the time, she was only 16 years old.
Pace alleged that Kelly slapped, choked and spit on her. Those claims were verified during a poly- graph test Pace took after she chose to seek a civil set- tlement from Kelly as op- posed to filing criminal charges.
By sharing her story with BuzzFeed, Pace is likely breaking the nondisclo- sure agreement she signed when she was granted a set- tlement from Kelly, but she feels obligated to give a voice to other women still con- nected to the singer.
