R. Kelly has pleaded not guilty in Brooklyn federal court Friday, August 2, 2019, to charges of racketeering and transporting women and girls for sex and was held without bail.
PageSix reports that a glum-looking Kelly entered the plea through his lawyer Douglas Anton as his two girlfriends and alleged sex slaves Joycelyn Savage and Azriel Clary looked on from the gallery.
The magistrate Judge Steven Tiscione denied the singer bail, finding that he’d be unable to comply with conditions of his release.
