“He has not established compelling reasons warranting his release" R Kelly has been denied bail by a New York judge after he tried to secure a temporary release because of the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Yesterday (April 8), U.S. District Judge Anne Donnelly ruled that the singer must remain in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, Illinois, where he is currently being held.
Kelly has been in prison without bond since last July after being arrested on a 13-count federal indictment. He’s pleaded not guilty to multiple charges in Illinois, Minnesota and New York, including racketeering and several sexual assault and abuse charges.
