American singer, R. Kelly turned himself in and was placed in handcuffs as he entered a Chicago police station on Friday night, hours after he was indicted on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse a class 2 felony involving four alleged victims.
His attorney, Steve Greenberg, said Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx succumbed to public pressure and that his client is an innocent man. "I think all the women are lying," Greenberg said.
"Mr. Kelly is strong, he's got a lot of support and he's going to be vindicated on all these charges one by one if it has to be," Greenberg said.
R Kelly is scheduled to appear in court Saturday for a bail hearing while his arraignment is set for March 8. The charges handed up in an indictment from a grand jury span from 1998 to 2010.
If convicted, Kelly faces three to seven years in prison for each count.
