R. Kelly remains in jail on criminal sexual-abuse charges after failing to come up with $100K bail

R. Kelly spent a second night in a row in a jail cell after he was unable to come up with the necessary $100,000 in bail money.
On Friday, a Cook County, Ill., grand jury had handed down an indictment on 10 charges of criminal sexual abuse against the singer. He turned himself in to police that night. On Saturday Chicago Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr. set R. Kelly’s bond at $1 million — $250,000 for each of his alleged four victims, at least three of whom were minors at the time of the alleged crimes. R. Kelly’s attorney said that R. Kelly was unable to come up with the 10 percent sum needed to post bond.
Steven Greenberg, the R&B artist’s lawyer, said that his client’s finances are “a mess†and claimed that “he’s trying to get [the bail money] together†but that “he doesn’t have it sitting in the bank, sitting in a shoe box, sitting anywhere.†R. Kelly reportedly owes well over $100,000 in child support. He referred to himself as a “broke-ass legend†in his 19-minute-long song “I Admit†back in 2018.
Just over a week ago, lawyer Michael Avenatti, who is representing Stormy Daniels in her legal battle with President Trump, said he would provided Illinois state prosecutors with a VHS tape he says shows R. Kelly engaging in illegal sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl. Indictments were handed down days later. CNN reports it has seen the video and that it “appears to show Kelly having sex with a girl who refers to her body parts as 14 years old.â€

Wouldn't it be easier to just assume all rappers like Kelly abuse women? A bigger story would probably be finding a rapper who didn't abuse women.
