Tuesday Crime Stories: R. Kelly victim recounts life behind mansion walls

Singer R Kelly lost his record deal and is under legal attack for his alleged sexual abuse of young women — some underage — but the hip hop star has so far avoided successful criminal prosecution.

Nancy Grace talks with Lisa Van Allen, one of the women who testified against Kelly in his Chicago child porn trial, about what she saw and experienced after she was lured as a teen into Kelly’s world. Kelly’s criminal defense lawyer Steve Greenberg joins the discussion to defend his famous client.

Nancy’s panel of experts also includes criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor Nicole DeBorde, Los Angeles psycho analyst Dr Bethany Marshall, private investigator Vincent Hill, and RadarOnline reporter Alexis Tereszcuk. Part 2 of the discussion continues in Wednesday’s Crime Stories episode.
