R&B singer R. Kelly faces a court hearing before a Florida judge Thursday afternoon after being arrested on charges of child pornography.
Kelly was arrested in Florida Wednesday hours after he was indicted by a grand jury in Chicago on 21 counts of child pornography, stemming from a videotape that allegedly shows the star performing sexual acts with a 14-year-old girl.
A spokeswoman for the Polk County, Florida, Sheriff's Office said R. Kelly was taken into custody there, but would not elaborate. Allan Mayer, an attorney for the Grammy-winning singer, also confirmed he was in custody.
