Star prosecution witness Lisa Van Allen cried on the witness stand, pausing to regain her composure, as she described several alleged three-way sexual encounters with the R&B star and the alleged victim, some of which she claimed Kelly videotaped.
Van Allen, 27, also told jurors in more than three hours of testimony Monday that Kelly offered her $250,000 last year to recover a tape of one of the trysts.
During cross-examination, a defense attorney accused Van Allen of plotting to extort money from the singer, which she denied.
Under further questioning, she admitted she once stole Kelly's $20,000 diamond-studded watch from a hotel.
