Kelly posted bail on Monday afternoon and was released from the Chicago jail where he spent the weekend, officials said.

Among the conditions of release is that Kelly have no contact with females younger than 18.
During a hearing earlier Monday, Kelly’s lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf to all 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse that he faces. Prosecutors allege that he sexually abused four women, including three who were minors at the time. Kelly has denied the allegations.
