Last week attorneys for R. Kelly desperately filed an emergency motion seeking his release from jail after he was assaulted by another inmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center where he is awaiting trial on multiple sex crimes in three different states [click here if you missed that].
The motion has been denied...
This week a U.S. District Judge ruled that R. Kelly would have to remain in jail because he poses a flight risk and has a history of intimidating witnesses or paying them to keep quiet.
Kelly is facing up to life in prison if convicted.
