A rape victim and an immigrant from communist Romania will be among those deciding whether or not R&B star R Kelly is guilty of child pornography charges against him.

 The odd couple is part of the 12-person jury which was selected to oversee his upcoming trial.

 The rape victim, who was one of the last jury members selected, convinced Judge Vincent Gaughan she would be able to put her own sexual experience behind her and offer fair judgment in the Kelly trial.

 Defense attorneys asked to have her dismissed, based on the rape, but Gaughan rejected the request, stating, "She looked at Mr. Kelly and said she could give him a fair trial."

 Kelly, who was in court for the duration of the jury selection, is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
