The state filed a motion to raise R. Kelly’s bond, which was denied by the judge. Kelly was charged by Cook County prosecutors back in February on various counts of sexual abuse for allegedly assaulting several underage girls. They allegedly occurred between 1998 and 2010.
His bond was set at $1 million, but prosecutors wanted that increased, the move appearing to be symbolic since the Grammy Award winner had been ordered detained by judges in federal courts in Chicago and Brooklyn. The judge said that he may revisit the issue of Kelly’s bond if circumstances change in the federal cases.
