R Kelly no bond

Judge orders R Kelly held in jail without bond in sex case

"If he was attracted to middle school girls in 1999 then he's still attracted to middle school girls,'' Assistant US Attorney Angel Krull told US District Judge Harry Leinenweber.

"That's who the defendant is and that, your honour, makes him a danger today.''

Leinenweber said that under federal law Kelly would have to prove that he was not a danger to the public and Kelly's attorney, Steve Greenberg, had failed to do so.
