A judge on Saturday set bond at $US1 million ($NZ1.45 million), meaning Kelly must post $US100,000 to be released. Avenatti previously gave prosecutors video evidence that he said showed Kelly having sex with an underage girl. She contacted Kelly, who told her to take a cab to his studio, where they had sex periodically for a year, the documents said. The jury in 2008 acquitted Kelly of child pornography charges that centred on a graphic video that prosecutors said showed him having sex with a girl as young as 13. Together they detailed allegations that he held women against their will and ran a "sex cult."
