NEW YORK (AP) — One of R. Kelly’s accusers has told a jury that he kept a gun by his side while he berated her before forcing her to give him oral sex in a Los Angeles music studio. The testimony came Wednesday at the R&B singer’s sex-trafficking trail in New York City. The witness said the intimidation tactics were all part of an abusive relationship that began when she was 19.  Jurors also heard testimony from a pastor who wed Kelly and the singer Aaliyah when she was 15. Kelly denies any wrongdoing.
