R. Kelly Update: Embattled R&B Star to Stay in Jail; Bail Denied by Judge

*R. Kelly‘s arse is going to stay parked in a Chicago jail until … who knows ’cause earlier today a federal judge basically denied bail/bond to kelly on his sex crime charges.

U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber handed down the ruling Tuesday after Kelly was arrested last week and charged in Chicago and New York with sex crimes including having sex with minors and trying to cover it up.

Kelly, wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackled at the ankles, did not speak except to say “yes sir” when the judge asked if he understood the charges. His attorney, Steve Greenberg, submitted a not guilty plea.

Prosecutors, of course, don’t want him released, pointing out to the court that 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 added that he has the “unique ability to influence and intimidate witnesses and victims, and that continues to this day.”

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

The bottom line is that Kelly pled not guilty and was denied bond.

And there’s this. The prosecution said there’s no question R. Kelly is the person in the videos they’ve obtained — which appears to be a reference to the alleged sex tapes at the center of the probe. They’re claiming that electronic monitor and home confinement is not enough for Kelly … going on to say he can “entice girls to his own doorstep.”

Prosecutors argued that Kelly would be an extreme risk if released, especially to minors, and that he might flee.
