R. Kelly has posted bail and is expected to leave jail soon, sheriff's office says

Kelly, 52, is expected to leave the jail by early Saturday afternoon, the sheriff's office said.

He was most recently arrested and jailed Wednesday over what authorities said was failure to pay his ex-wife child support of $161,000 -- which is the amount he was told to post to be freed.

Before that, he was out on bail in another case. A grand jury in Cook County indicted Kelly in February on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse -- a Class 2 felony -- involving four alleged victims.

The indictment accuses Kelly of sexual acts with three children older than 13 but younger than 17. There is no age range listed for one alleged victim. The singer pleaded not guilty.

In that case, Kelly was jailed on February 22 and released three days later after posting $100,000 bail.

Kelly has consistently denied any allegations of abusing of women or being sexually involved with underage girls.
