Chicago singer R. Kelly isn’t going down without a fight. The crooner has pleaded not guilty days after turning himself over to police in a federal sexual abuse case.
According to reports, Kells’ attorney popped into court today to announce his stance.
R. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse. His attorney Steve Greenberg entered the plea for Kelly in a Chicago courtroom Monday. Greenberg also told the judge that Kelly has turned in his passport — though the 52-year-old hasn’t been able to post bail yet. Kelly, one of the most successful R&B acts of all time, was indicted on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse against four victims, prosecutors said. (CNN)
