The child pornography trial is about a week in, and it's really not looking good for R. Kelly; three more witnesses positively ID'd R Kelly and his underage lover as the couple depicted in a homemade sex tape. Another of the victim's childhood friends, now a University of Wisconsin student, her mother, and another of the victim's own relatives say that without a doubt, 41 year old R Kelly is the man shown with the clearly underage girl in the 10 year old sex tape.....
She also told the court that rumors started to spread in her neighborhood about a sex tape with her friend in it. Audrey's mother, who says she found a copy of the tape in her daughter's bedroom, testified that she viewed parts of the tape and then threw it in the trash, heartbroken because she too recognized her daughter's friend. The final and possibly most damaging testimony came from R&B singer and former R Kelly protégé, Sparkle, who testified that she introduced her 12 year old niece to R Kelly after she started working with the singer/songwriter and that, "Sir, it's Robert and [my niece] on the tape. I know my family. I know them. Trust me." Sparkle said she found out about the tape in December 2001 after she got a phone call from an attorney telling her that a relative of hers was on a sex tape she needed to see. Sparkle told the court the tape tore their family apart. "We were thick as thieves," Sparkle said of the family's closeness before finding out about the tape. But after the the tape came to light, "There was one side and another side," she said. The girl's mother -- Sparkle's sister -- didn't want to see the tape and didn't want to talk about it, she said.

Why was the mother "heartbroken" to recognize her daughter's friend??? Why was she not totally devastated to see her daughter in the tape? Sounds like the mother needs to get her priorities straight!
