R&B singer R Kelly has appeared in court in New York, as jury selection for his sex trafficking trial begins.
It comes more than two years after he was charged with abusing women and underage girls for almost two decades.
The Grammy Award-winning singer faces charges including child sexual exploitation, racketeering and bribery. He has pleaded not guilty.
Potential jurors are being questioned over whether they can keep an open mind in the case.
Following jury selection, the trial is due to begin on 18 August and could last several weeks. A conviction could result in decades in prison for the 54-year-old.
