(Chicago, Illinois) - A federal judge denied R. Kelly's request for release from prison due to the coronavirus, finding that the singer was not the most at-risk and instead, "poses danger to the community, particularly to prospective witnesses." Attorneys for Kelly, who is awaiting trial based on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and other sex crimes in a Chicago federal prison, requested that Kelly be released on bail.
