His wife, Ninfa Queyquep, said she has brought her sizable team to the Walk for Life event every year since 2010.

At least once, she had to wait hours for his permission to use the bathroom, she said. In addition, she testified, Kelly gave her herpes after having unprotected sex without disclosing that he had the infection. And after she filed a lawsuit against him, her lawyer received threatening letters, indicating that nude pictures of Faith would leak if she did not drop the case. Afterward, the photos circulated on Facebook anyway, she testified.
