On February 25, R&B singer R Kelly was released from Cook County Jail after spending three nights incarcerated.

The court set a $1.000.000 bond after the singer was arraigned for the sexual abuse of 4 women, three of whom were underage at the time of the attacks.

R KELLY SPENT THREE DAYS IN JAIL WITH NO MONEY FOR BAIL

The singer who once boasted a net worth of over $300 million, had to endure a three-day wait in jail while friends and family scrounged up the 10% bail money to set him free.

R Kelly exited the jail wearing the same outfit in which he'd appeared in court on the previous Friday: a black hoodie and pants, a blue jacket and white shoes with no laces. The R&B star immediately headed for McDonald's for a hamburger, obviously tired of prison fare.

The presiding Judge, John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr, imposed a $250,000 bond for each of the 4 victims

R Kelly surrendered voluntarily to Chicago police on February 22, 2019, after a documentary series exposed his continued abusive behavior with underage girls.

The latest arrest follows on decades of accusations of having sex with minors, possession of child pornography, and operating a sex cult.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE FACES CRIMINAL CHARGES

In 2008, R Kelly had been accused of child pornography after a video which appeared to show the singer having sex and urinating on a teenage girl was circulated.

The singer was acquitted of all charges when R Kelly's defense team convinced the jury that the identity of the girl was not conclusive.

R KELLY SURRENDERED HIS PASSPORT TO THE COURT

In order to effect his release, R Kelly had to surrender his passport. The presiding Judge, John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr, imposed a $250,000 bond for each of the 4 victims that form the basis of the accusations against the R&B singer.

R Kelly will now face an arduous - and expensive - legal battle against the overwhelming evidence and witnesses willing to testify to his sexual misconduct.

MYSTERY CHICAGO WOMAN POSTED BAIL FOR R KELLY

On Monday, February 25, 2019, a mystery woman posted the $100,000 bail the court remanded for the R&B singer, R Kelly.

Kelly has been accused of sexual abuse by 4 women and was arraigned on Friday, and forced to spend the weekend in prison since he did not have the money to post bail.

The Court records show a that a 47-year-old woman from Chicago posted the bail, but remains unidentified. She described herself on the bond slip as 'a friend' of the singer.

In a related story, R. Kelly stayed in jail for three days because he didn't have $100,000 bail because he is "too broke.
