Hours earlier, Kelly stood in a Chicago courtroom wearing an orange jumpsuit as his lawyer entered a not-guilty plea. The star’s bail had been set at $1 million, of which he was required to pay 10 percent. Avenatti earlier this month gave Chicago prosecutors approximately 40 minutes of previously unreleased footage of Kelly allegedly having sex with a teenager. “This reign of abuse and assault by Mr Kelly is about to come to an abrupt and permanent end,” Avenatti said. Kim Foxx – the state’s attorney for Cook County, which includes Chicago – told journalists the alleged crimes occurred between 1998 and 2010.
