R. Kelly ‘cult’ vic: Older gal a sex trainer

- Rachel DeSantis

A WOMAN who says she was a member of R. Kelly’s alleged sex cult revealed Monday how the singer used an older woman to “train” her how to please him sexually.

Jerhonda Pace, 24 — who claimed in a BuzzFeed interview last month that she began having sex with Kelly (photo) when she was just 16 — appeared on TV’s “The Real” and went into further detail about their twisted relationsh­ip.

Pace said her training kicked off on Kelly’s tour bus, where he was waiting for her — naked — along with the older woman.

“Rob (Kelly) is the one who took my virginity, so I was like, ‘Um, what’s going on?’ ” Pace said. “And that’s when he told me to look at her, and he said, ‘She’s going to teach you everything you need to know.’ And he told me to remove my clothes . . . So I just went along with whatever he was asking me, but I was very scared.

“She trained me in everything that I was doing, she told me how to please him, and she also taught me what I like,” Pace recalled.

Fighting back tears, Pace also recalled the times Kelly became physically abusive.

“It’s very frightenin­g. He would slap you in your face,” she said. “He would lock you in (a) room for days.”

Pace’s account echoes those of three other women who escaped Kelly’s grip and shared their stories with BuzzFeed. Representa­tives for Kelly have denied the allegation­s.
