Charles Freeman, allegedly tasked with recovering R. Kelly’s sex tapes, struggled with timeline queries as the defense worked to paint him as an extortionist and liar during the singer’s federal child pornography trial in Chicago. Our report:

Among the alleged discrepancies the defense pressed Freeman on was when he first learned about the location of the tape and who informed him of it, how many tapes he found, when and what he discovered was on the tape, and who first allegedly hired him to recover said tapes. On Tuesday, Freeman said Kelly called him around 2001 to recover tapes that depicted Kelly allegedly engaging in sexual acts with a minor.
Freeman testified that he still had copies of the tape as recently as 2019, and only turned them over to the authorities, via his lawyer, after he learned the police were looking into him in connection to Kelly. Asked on Tuesday why he didn’t immediately turn the tape over to the cops after getting it in 2001, Freeman replied, “Because the police wasn’t going to pay me a million dollars.”
