R Kelly Denied Bail After Pleading Not Guilty In Court

Published

on

R Kelly has pleaded not guilty to child pornography and sex trafficking charges at a hearing in New York.

During his appearance at a Brooklyn Federal Court, the 52-year-old singer was denied bail and will be returning to Chicago.

According to Variety, Judge Steven Tiscione referenced the 52-year-old’s alleged “multitude of crimes spanning from 1997 to 2018”, explaining they include “incredibly serious sexual abuse of minors, coercion, child pornography,” and discussed his ‘access to financial resources.’

Further, he ruled that the global music star, who has been accused of allegedly exploiting five victims – known only as “Jane Does” – three of whom were underage at the time, “cannot be relied upon to comply with the terms of a release”.

The singer, who could face up to 30 years in prison if found guilty, has denied all allegations against him, with his lawyers branding the victims ‘disgruntled groupies’
