Kellz pleads not guilty...

From CBS News
Singer R. Kelly pleaded not guilty to 11 new sex-related felonies at his arraignment in Chicago Thursday morning. The new charges against Kelly, 52, stem from the sexual abuse of Jerhonda Pace, then a minor, that allegedly took place in 2010. Pace told her story of alleged abuse in a docu-series called "Surviving R. Kelly."
The hearing comes a week after prosecutors announced the new charges, including four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault. Each carries a maximum prison term of 30 years.
During the hearing, the judge called the singer's total composite bond of $1 million "a sufficient bond" and said it will stand. The judge made clear to Kelly that his next court date is on June 26 and, speaking to the singer, said, "You're out on bond. It's incumbent upon you to appear in court on each and every court date."
