Lawyers for R. Kelly case, by calling therelatives of the alleged victim, opened a new defense Wednesday, to testify that she's not the person in the sex video at the center of the case, according to AP reports.
Another defense witness on Wednesday accused a key prosecution witness of soliciting $300,000 from the R&B superstar in exchange for her silence.
So far, seven family members of the alleged victim have testified four prosecution witnesses who said earlier that they recognized the woman, and three who said Wednesday that they did not.
Speaking to AP, "It definitely wasn't her," said Shonna Edwards, when asked Wednesday whether the underage girl seen having sex with the Grammy winner on the video was her relative.
The 27-year-old Edwards said she saw the tape for the first time several days ago in a lawyer's office, telling jurors that the female's body in the tape was too developed to be her relative at that time.
Prosecutors, who rested their case Monday, allege the girl was as young as 13 when the tape was made. 
Edwards also said she met Kelly frequently in the 1990s when she sang in an R&B music group with her relative, and she added that the man in the sex tape "did not appear" to be Kelly.
Both he and the alleged victim deny they're on the graphic, 27-minute tape.
