She says that eventually, she began spending weekends with Kelly at his mansion, and her account—which mentions following "rules," wearing shapeless clothes, and not speaking to unapproved persons—follows on from those given by the women who spoke to Buzzfeed previously:"Even though I had already met him at his trial, I was like literally at his house, so it did not feel real." She remembers Kelly calling her over to the bar and telling her he had noticed her at the trial. He then asked for her cell phone and entered his number in it. "At the time I was still, you know, pretty starstruck, so I was in disbelief."
Though Pace originally told Kelly that she was 19 years old when they met, she states that at one point during their sexual relationship, he became aware that she was actually below the age of consent (which, in Illinois, is 17):While she was in the mansion, she says, she had to follow Kelly's "rules," which included dressing in baggy clothes, turning over her phone, and asking permission to shower, eat, go to the bathroom, and leave the property. If she broke the rules, she says, she was mentally and physically abused.
If Kelly was previously unaware of Pace's age, she says she told him for certain that she was 16 on July 17, 2009 […] "I gave him my state ID," she says. She recalls that Kelly told her things were fine, but that she should tell anyone who asked that she was 19, and act like she was 25.
