She told them she was okay, and they made her call her parents in front of them.
She told them she was 18.

There would be times when he would make me leave it on my face, she testified.
Once, he told me not to wash it off and to let it harden.

I recall them laughing, and I felt very much humiliated, she alleged.
On Thursday, a third accusertestifiedagainst Kelly.
Stephanie claimed to have first encountered Kelly in 1998 at a Chicago McDonalds, at age 16.
She was standing at the register by herself when a man approached her and asked her age.
Stephanie testified that she said yes.
He passed her a piece of paper with Kellys phone number, instructing her to call him.
I threw out his phone number, she recalled, because I didnt intend to talk to him.
Stephanie ultimately encountered Kelly again in summer 1999, at age 17.
A co-worker told her that Kelly was at a nearby Nike store.
She headed there, thinking that he might remember her and that this might help her friends career.
Stephanie ran into Kelly as he was leaving.

She asked him if he would meet her friend.
When she arrived, someone took her to a room on the second floor.
A staffer instructed her to stay here and wait for him.
The employee departed, and she was by herself.
I waited there a few hours, she said.
Kelly arrived and sat down next to her, apologizing for the delay.
There was a little bit of chitchat and we had sex that day.
Kelly initiated the sex, she claimed, and their encounters continued for about six months.
Stephanie turned 18 in October that year.
Kelly asked Stephanie about her age sometime after their first sexual encounter.

Hes a genius, Im a genius, she recalled Kelly stating.
We should be allowed to do whatever we want.

Williamss testimony did not indicate that he knew Aaliyahs age.

Men, women, one or other both?
Yes, as I recall, he said.
Ever see any underage girls there?
Not that I recall.

You didnt ask them for their license?
Not your job when you go there, huh?
I apologize, she stated.
