We've got defendant Mendeecees' testimony inside...
A woman who is now 19-year-old claims that when she was 15, she had a sexual relationship with Mendeecees Harris, and was blackmailed into doing so.
Mendeecees claims not only did he never commit any of the acts the victim claimed in court yesterday--like him blackmailing her with the secret of her being raped when she was 8 (what he threatened to do with the info we're not sure) for sex--but that he rarely interacted with her at all.
CliffViewPilot.com reported his testimony:
“I never had a relationship with her, she never extended herself,” said Harris, taking the stand in his own defense. “She didn’t play basketball, she didn’t play Playstation, didn’t want to go to the movies.
“She always walked around the house like she had an attitude,” he said.
“That’s the truth – never, never – I never committed none of them acts to that girl in my life.”
The victim previously claimed she lived with Mendeecees in Lodi, NJ for a period of time, because her mother--who she says was dating him--lived with him as well. Mendeecees denies an intimate relationship with the mother as well, and says she was "just a friend" he met in Harlem. Oh.
He put down $50,000 on a home for them to live in as "just friends," and was upset that the woman (the victim's mother) only put her name on the deed. He says she claimed it was because his credit was bad, and his name being on the loan would have raised the mortgage.
