Judge Denies Motion To Raise R. Kelly’s Bond

A judge has denied a request by prosecutors to increase music superstar R. Kelly’s bond. The action happened today in Cook County Court. Kelly’s current bond is one million dollars. The judge said that he may reconsider a bond increase if circumstances change in the singer’s federal cases. Kelly was charged back in February in Cook County on several counts of sexual abuse for allegedly assaulting several underage girls. He also has two pending state cases on federal charges in Illinois and New York.
