The witness explained to jurors that she was asked to fly to Chicago to conduct an interview with the Grammy winner at his recording studio, but instead, she was quickly shuffled around by staff, made to sign an NDA, and shockingly offered a condom.

After firmly telling Kelly's staff "I’m not here for that," she was led to a room and told to wait for the "Bump n' Grind" singer, but was horrified to find out that it was locked from the outside and that she was now a prisoner in the dim, windowless room.

Despite slamming her fists against the door and shouting, the woman told the court that she could not even leave to use the restroom without the singer's permission. "I was scared. I was ashamed. I was embarrassed," she added.

This is in line with OK!'s previous reports of other testimonies during the trial, which claimed Kelly's "girlfriends" were subject to a series of strict rules, including having to ask permission to leave rooms or take bathroom breaks.

On top of her unexpected imprisonment, she was also starved, only given food following two long days of confinement. After nibbling at a plate of Chinese food and drinking a soft drink, the accuser claimed she quickly passed out, only to wake and find "wet stuff" between her legs and smeared on her thighs. Kelly was simultaneously pulling his pants up on the other side of the room.

"I was sexually assaulted," the abuse survivor proclaimed to the jury. "It wasn't something I invited."

When she left, the victim also alleged she was threatened by staff who told her, "Don’t f--- with Mr. Kelly." She admitted during cross examination she later chose not to call 911 after the reported assault.
