		</div><p>R&;B singer R Kelly has appeared in court in Chicago where a judge has set bail at $1m.</p>
<p>The judge at Saturday&#8217;s hearing, Cook County Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr, is the same judge who presided over Empire actor Jussie Smollett&#8217;s bail hearing earlier this week.</p>
<p>Kelly was charged on Friday with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving four female victims, including three who were between the ages of 13 and 17 at the time.</p>
<p>Cook County state&#8217;s attorney Kim Foxx says the alleged abuse dated back as far as 1998 and spanned more than a decade.</p>
<p>Kelly was tried and acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 and has consistently denied any sexual misconduct.</p>
<p>The 52-year-old Grammy winner&#8217;s lawyer said Friday that he was confident Kelly would be vindicated.</p>

<p>Judge Fitzgerald Lyke Jr said during Saturday&#8217;s hearing that the bail amount equalled $250,000 for each of the four people he is charged with sexually abusing.</p>
<p>He called the allegations against Kelly &#8220;disturbing&#8221; during the hearing.</p>
<p>The singer stared at the floor while the judge was speaking and looked dejected.</p>
<p>Kelly had spent the night in jail before being taken to the court.</p>
<p>He stood with his hands behind his back and said to the judge: &#8220;How are you?&#8221;</p>
<p>Kelly&#8217;s lawyer, Steve Greenberg, said his client was not a flight risk and told the judge: &#8220;Contrary to the song, Mr Kelly doesn&#8217;t like to fly.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bail requires Kelly to post $100,000 to be released.</p>
<p>A prosecutor told the judge that Kelly met one of the four accusers at his 2008 trial on child pornography charges.</p>
<p>The two met when he gave her an autograph, and the alleged abuse occurred between 2009 and 2010.</p>
<p>The accuser gave law enforcement a shirt that had Kelly&#8217;s DNA on it, the prosecutor said.</p>
<p>Kelly has been dogged for decades by allegations that he violated underage girls and women and held some as virtual slaves.</p>
