R Kelly released on one million dollar bail

R Kelly was released on bail on monday, after a 47-year-old woman from suburban Chicago, allegedly a friend of his, posted the bail — 10% of the $1 million bond set by a judge. Since his arrest on Friday, Kelly struggled to come up with the funds to cover his bail. His lawyer, Steve Greenberg, told the judge that the singer’s finances are a “mess” due to his ongoing legal issues. Kelly is due back in court on March 22nd. If convicted of the charges in Chicago, he faces between 40-70 years in prison, as Chicago Tribune points out. On monday, upon being released, R Kelly and his entourage stopped at a McDonald’s in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, the very same McDonald’s where Kelly allegedly picked up a high school girl on on her prom night in 1998. According to a lawsuit later settled out of court, Kelly impregnated the girl and then forced her to have an abortion, Spin reported.
