Judge Rules R. Kelly Will Be Held Without Bond In Federal Case

Published

During R. Kelly’s hearing at a federal court in Chicago on Tuesday, a judge ruled that the singer will be held without bond, per the Chicago Sun-Times. The singer entered a not guilty plea. 

While mounting the argument that Kelly should not be released from custody, a federal prosecutor called the singer a “danger to the community, especially to minor girls.”

The hearing arrives days after federal prosecutors in New York and Chicago unsealed two federal indictments against Kelly that could land him in prison for the rest of his life. The singer is facing 18 combined counts for alleged sexual crimes against 10 victims. 

Prosecutors argued against his release saying he’s a danger to the community, especially to minor girls. They claim the risk of obstruction is real and ongoing, and also heightened by his fame and power. Prosecutors are also saying he has the “unique ability to influence and intimidate witnesses and victims, and that continues to this day.”

They added an emphatic, “It’s who the defendant is,” after alleging that he’s sexually assaulted the alleged victims hundreds of times.
