A judge in the US has set R Kelly's bail at $US1m after the singer was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
The R&B star, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, has faced decades of sexual abuse claims.
He has never been convicted and has previously denied other allegations.
The BBC reports he turned himself in to Chicago police after an arrest warrant was issued against him.
At least nine of the charges involve minors.
The 52‑year‑old's court appearance comes just weeks after a documentary series called Surviving R Kelly aired.
It contained decades of allegations of abuse against him from many women, including the singer's ex‑wife.
