R. Kelly using dental evidence to save his a@@!

Testimony resumed in the R. Kelly child porn trial yesterday as a former employee of the R&B singer identified him as the man on the tape.

According to the Associated Press, Lindsey Perryman said she worked as a record producer and personal assistant to Kelly on and off from 2000-2007 and testified she was “110 percent sure” he was the male on the tape. After being approached by prosecutors in December 2007, Perryman said it was at this time she first viewed the tape.

Perryman told jurors she looked at an album cover before viewing the tape and did not want to believe it was her former boss on the video because he was “very, very good to me.”

“I was in shock and I wanted to be 110 percent sure,” she said. Perryman, along with two other witnesses also identified the female participant as the same woman denying partaking in the video.

The defense is hoping that braces, or a lack there of, will help prove the identity of the girl on the tape. According to Kelly’s lawyers, the alleged victim had braces on her teeth at the time the tape was made but the girl on the tape did not.

Tjada Burnett, a family friend of the alleged victim, testified she could identify the female participant on the tape by her “cheeks, her nose, her facial structure.”

The defense accused Burnett of lying to aid the prosecution because when asked whether her friend wore braces she said the braces could have been put on after 1999.

As SOHH previously reported, on Friday, as the jury had the day off, Kelly’s lawyers urged to have several of the state’s witnesses charged with crimes.

Kelly faces 14 counts of videotaping, producing or soliciting child pornography. He pled innocent to all charges and if convicted could face up to 15 years in prison.

The trial will continue tomorrow.
