'R Kelly sex tape' to go public

Chicago - An Illinois judge has upheld a ruling allowing the media and public to view a videotape allegedly showing singer R Kelly having sex with an under-aged girl.
Prosecutors asked Judge Vincent Gaughan to reconsider his earlier decision. They say allowing it to be viewed in open court would re-victimise the girl.
But Gaughan noted that the girl who prosecutors say is in the video has denied it was her.
Prosecutors claim the video was made between January 1998 and October 2000, when the girl may have been as young as 13.
Kelly has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child pornography.
