First federal trial of disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly, who faces a host of sex abuse charges in several US states, will begin on August 18 in New York
On the opening day of jury selection the court questioned dozens prospective jurors, dismissing 18.
One man was excused because he said he would find it difficult to remain impartial when faced with evidence of sexual activity between members of the same sex, which the judge said would be exhibited. In an unusual step for such a high-profile case, reporters and other members of the public must watch from several "overflow" rooms, on relatively small, grainy screens.Feds bring new sex-crime charges against singer R.
Among the alleged victims listed in the indictment is "Jane Doe #1," widely believed to be the R&B singer Aaliyah, who died in a plane crash at age 22 in 2001.
