3:19Now PlayingBNC's Shannon LaNier and Bofta Yimam talk about R. Kelly's upcoming trial for sex trafficking. The singer's marriage to a then 15-year-old Aaliyah will be used as evidence in the trial.
R. Kelly was 27 years old at the time of the marriage.
"Apparently, R. Kelly worked with a government employee in Illinois to get a fake ID so the marriage could happen," Yimam says. Jury selection for the trial begins on August 9.
