R. Kelly's Bail Request Denied, Attacker Moved to New Prison

Previously, news surfaced that R. Kelly was attacked by another inmate at Chicago MCC. The incident reportedly found the inmate alleging that he was “forced” to beat R. Kelly in a letter. Along with that, Kelly’s lawyers say prison guards instigate the violent attack. Since then, Kelly’s lawyers filed a request for the singer to be released on bail, which was denied.

Documents that surfaced noted federal prosecutors denied the request for bail for Kelly because the incident was reportedly a one-time situation. The person in question who attacked Kelly—Jeremiah Farmer, has been moved to another facility in Michigan.

Along with that, federal prosecutors say R. Kelly is a threat to the public and is also a flight risk, so he should remain behind bars.
