The Associated Press reports that Kelly was jailed on $1 million bond Saturday evening following him turning hisself in. Most recently, CNN reported that there is a newly resurfaced tape of Kelly having sex with a minor around the same time as he previously went on trial.

According to the court records obtained by The Chicago tribune, “three of the indictments referred to a minor between the ages of 13 and 16, according to the charges.” There are reportedly four people in the recent charges.

The bond equals $250,000 for each of the four people Kelly is charged with abusing. Kelly must post $100,000 to be released.
