A court filing by his lawyers claims the spread of the new coronavirus behind bars puts R. Kelly's life at risk.

R. Kelly stood next to attorney Steve Greenberg in orange jail garb, holding his hands behind his back.

Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all criminal charges filed against him in New York, Illinois and Chicago.

The three-night event for 'Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning' begins Jan. 2 on Lifetime.

The new charge marks the first time that R. Kelly’s brief marriage to the then-underage Aaliyah has been connected to any of the criminal cases against him.

A Minnesota prosecutor charged singer R. Kelly on Monday with prostitution and solicitation related to an allegation that he invited a 17-year-old girl to his hotel room in 2001 and paid her $200 to dance naked with him.

The 52-year-old Kelly was denied bail in a New York City courtroom packed with his supporters.

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

A judge is expected to rule on whether R. Kelly can be released on bond in the Chicago indictment before facing the New York charges.
