R. Kelly freed from Chicago jail after paying child support

- Singer R. Kelly was released from a Chicago jail on Saturday after he paid more than $161,000 in child support to an ex-wife, police said, ending his second incarceration in two weeks after a prior arrest on sex assault charges.

Sam Randall, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said in a phone interview on Saturday that the source of the payment was unclear, noting that the name section of the bond slip was left blank. Celebrity website TMZ, which cited sources close to Kelly as saying an unidentified benefactor helped him, reported that he was met by screaming fans as he left the jail.

Last month, Kelly was arrested and pleaded not guilty to charges he had sexually assaulted three teenage girls and a fourth woman. He has denied similar abuse allegations for decades. In 2008, the singer was tried on child pornography charges and found not guilty.

Blue blockers!

Well at least one could say he does cares about young kids... mmm .... nevermind.

Nice. 👊🏿

I wonder who made the payment for him

So it’s just money

it's nice to be rich

You mean after someone ELSE paid his child support.

. Need a sliding fee scale for bail also need to make it where its only blood relatives that can pay the bail.

Sure hope he's gonna man up now, stop throwing hissyfits an acting like a 5 yr old.

If jail time is what it takes to get a man to pay for his children's care he ranks at the top of the SCUMBAG list in my book...

Those VR goggles tho. He’s about to release “Pee on Me: the definitive R Kelly Virtual Reality Experience”.

You mean after someone else paid it for him.

thought u said some fan paid the 161000

Never trust a man who wears sunglasses on a rainy day!

Change your headline Kelly didn’t pay, someone else paid on his behalf.

What are those ? is he a welder

Third time’s a charm

And republicans ONLY care about a child AT BIRTH!

Odd headline 'freed' for this guy. muteRKelley

you're Reuters. SURELY you can get a photo from today!

After someone paid it for him .. 🙄
