NEW YORK (Reuters) – Jurors resumed deliberations on Monday in the sex trafficking trial of R. Kelly, asking for transcripts of testimony from two of the R&B singer’s former employees and clarification of the law in Illinois, where some of his alleged sexual abuses occurred.

The jury requested evidence from several weeks of the lengthy trial. This included testimony from Tom Arnold (a former manager at the studio) who claimed Kelly would often fine him for not following the singer’s guidelines.

Arnold stated that Kelly lost his $1,500 final weekly paycheck after finding a male guide and not Kelly’s preferred female guide to accompany him on a Disney World VIP tour.

Kelly is well-known for his hit 1996 song “I Believe I Can Fly” and has pleaded not guilty. He also pleaded no to eight charges of violating a federal law that makes it illegal to transport prostitutes across state boundaries.

Kelly was portrayed by the prosecution as a predator, who used his charisma and fame to attract women and girls under age to his circle. He then made his victims suffer violent sexual and physical abuses, some of which were recorded.

Kelly’s lawyers argued that Kelly had been generous to those who were around him and claimed his accusers are lying liars seeking out a payoff through book contracts, the media or other means after they have lost their romantic relationships or failed to achieve their music career goals.

On Friday, the five-woman and seven-man juries began deliberations. August 18 was the start of the trial.
