It may have taken long enough, but finally, after decades of sexual abuse and worse, the walls are closing in on R. Kelly.

I know people say you shouldn’t celebrate the misfortune of others, but we’ll make an exception here.

Following the release of Surviving R. Kelly, attention once again lasered in on the musician’s long and storied history of sexual abuse, with law enforcement being prompted into action.

Fast forward a month, and now Kelly has been indicted on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse against four victims, three of whom would have been underage at the time.

Here’s the moment he surrendered to police custody:

Not so full of bravado now, pal.

CNN with more:

A judge in Chicago set Kelly’s total bond at $1 million on Saturday…$250,000 for each of the alleged victims in the case. To leave police custody, he’s required to pay 10% of the total, or $100,000.

Steve Greenberg, Kelly’s attorney, told reporters after Saturday’s bail hearing that he was “very happy” with the bond and that it seemed “fair and reasonable given the allegations.”

But Greenberg said his client “really doesn’t have any money at this point” due to “mismanagement,” “hangers-on” and “bad deals.”

He added Kelly would ultimately be able to come up with the required $100,000.

“He’s trying to get it together,” Greenberg said. “He doesn’t have it sitting in the bank.”

That’s your man’s mugshot above, by the way.

It’s not just the bond that Kelly can’t pay, because he’s also been skimping on child support payments. As things stand, he owes his ex-wife $169 000 as of February 6, and will have to pay $161 663 by March 6 or be held in contempt of court.

I won’t be contributing to his GoFundMe.

It doesn’t stop there:

Kelly also risked eviction at his Chicago studio last month because he owes more than $166,000 in unpaid rent.

Court documents show a judge signed an eviction order in January. The documents show Robert Kelly needed to move out on or before January 21, but Kelly was still at the studio minutes before he turned himself in to police on Friday night.

After he was ordered by a judge to only use the studio between 9AM and 9PM, attorney Greenberg compared Kelly to Ludwig van Beethoven, Sigmund Freud and Winston Churchill, whom he said also worked and wrote their best work at night.

Riiiiiiight.

Prosecutors in the case reckon they have some decent evidence against Kelly:

During Saturday’s hearing, prosecutors detailed the crimes Kelly is accused of committing, which allegedly took place between 1998 and 2010.

Among the revelations, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said one of the alleged victims provided authorities with a shirt she wore during an alleged encounter with the singer, which later tested positive for his DNA. Prosecutors also alleged that Kelly spit on two of his victims.

There’s also that video, turned over by attorney Michael Avenatti, which he alleges shows Kelly having sex with a 14-year-old.

You can hear him describe the video from the two-minute mark below:

You would think that’s pretty much a home run for the prosecution, but a courtroom once dismissed a tape that surfaced in 2002 featuring Kelly having sex and urinating on an underage girl, so let’s hope they don’t make that mistake twice.

As of right now, Kelly is still in custody, although Greenberg reckons he’ll post bail shortly.

Here’s Jezebel:

“R. Kelly’s spirits are good. Kelly is expected to bond out tomorrow (Monday),” Greenberg said. “Right now he’s being held in the hospital area of the jail for security reasons, he’s not sick or suicidal. It’s easier for the sheriff and more secure that he’s not in general population. Kelly will be in court around 10 a.m. ET and should be released shortly afterwards.”

Please, please, release him into general population, even if just for a day.
