Robs rules. Witnesses testify about how R. Kelly controlled those in his orbit – CNN

Kelly's orbit was a strange and uncomfortable place where the singer controlled young girlfriends and members of his inner circle with strict orders that dictated everything they did, testified Antony Navarro, 36, who worked as a general assistant for the singer. "It was almost like the 'Twilight Zone,'" Navarro told the jury. "You went into the gate and it was like a different world." Separately from the New York case, Kelly faces federal child pornography and obstruction charges in the Northern District of Illinois, and state charges there for multiple counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
