The Singer Returns Once Again To Prison

R.Kelly the famous American R&B singer has once again been arrested. While he was already accused of multiple sexual assaults, this time it was charges of “child pornography” and “misappropriation of a minor” that led the 52-year-old singer to be arrested, as reported by the New York Times.

R. Kelly is accused there of having had sexual relations with minors when he himself was an adult, a federal crime under certain conditions, but also of having kidnapped, sequestered, threatened and filmed, without their knowledge, several young girls.

In all, these are Thirteen counts which were retained by the federal prosecutors against Robert Kelly. Among these charges, it will be necessary to include the charges of embezzlement of a minor and obstruction of justice as also indicated by the New York Times.

Faced with all these accusations, the singer continues to proclaim his innocence. A federal judge ordered his continued detention until Tuesday, the date of a new hearing during which his possible release on bail will be debated.

But before this recent arrest, R. Kelly had been released on bail in a case in Chicago where he faces 11 counts, including five of aggravated sexual assault. Each of them is liable to a sentence of between six and thirty years in prison.

During an interview in March 2019, the singer vehemently denied the accusations against him. R. Kelly had even indicated on CBS News that he was “fighting” for his life. “I didn’t do that kind of stuff. It’s not me,” he told reporters.
