R. Kelly’s bond is not revoked
R. Kelly avoided having his bond revoked Friday in his child pornography case, but a Chicago judge admonished him for missing a court hearing earlier in the week.
The R&B; superstar apologized to Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan. The judge ordered Kelly to cancel a Jan. 13 concert to ensure he makes a Jan. 14 court date.
Kelly missed a court appearance Wednesday because his tour bus was stopped for speeding in Utah on Tuesday. When police examined the vehicle’s logbook, they discovered it didn’t document enough rest time for the driver and ordered it to stop.
Kelly, 40, has pleaded not guilty to child pornography charges for allegedly videotaping sex acts with a young teenage girl in or before 2000.
