Kelly arrives for a child support hearing at the Cook County Circuit Court at the Daley Center in Chicago, Illinois, USA 06 March 2019. Kelly, who faces criminal sexual abuse charges, has failed to pay more than 161,000 USD in back child support. He was taken into custody to be returned to the Cook County Jail after failing to pay the full amount he owes. R. Kelly appears in court for failure to pay child suport, Chicago, USA - 06 Mar 2019

    Prosecutors’ main goal is seemingly to prove that Kelly violated the Mann Act, which states that it is a crime for people to transport people across state lines for illicit sexual purposes.

    Kelly is already facing criminal charges in multiple jurisdictions which include New York federal court, Illinois federal court, Illinois state court, and Minnesota state court. Kelly recently attempted to bring lawyer Tom Mesereau onto the case to represent him. Mesereau is most known for getting Michael Jackson acquitted of child molestation in 2005, and getting Robert Blake acquitted of murdering his wife, also in that same year.

    The singer is currently sitting in an Illinois jail, as he awaits for his fate to unfold.
