American singer R Kelly has been ordered to transfer to New York for his arraignment on racketeering charges that allege the singer recruited young girls for sexual abuse at concerts across the country, Variety cited Chicago Tribune.

Currently held without bond in Chicago, Kelly will be brought by US Marshals to the federal courthouse in Brooklyn for an August 2 hearing, and will be returned to Chicago for a status hearing on September 4 on a separate indictment.

On Friday, Kelly`s former employee Milton `June` Brown pleaded not guilty before a federal magistrate judge in Chicago to a charge of conspiracy to receive child pornography. A judge ordered him released on his own recognisance.

Kelly pleaded not guilty to child pornography and other charges on Tuesday during his hearing at a federal court in Chicago. However, the judge gave orders that the singer will be held without bond for now.

"Mr Kelly pleaded not guilty to the charges pending in Chicago. Judge [Harry] Leinenweber denied bond so he`ll remain detained in federal custody," the US Attorney said in a statement shared with E! Online.

This comes after the singer was arrested on child pornography and other federal criminal charges in Chicago.

According to TMZ, the tapes were given by people from Kelly`s inner circle who are described as `enablers` by Gerald Griggs, a lawyer for one of the victims.

The case against Kelly was even bolstered by medical records, phone records, text messages, pictures among others, claimed the prosecutors earlier in the court, asking for the singer to remain jailed while the trial goes on.

Kelly was charged in February with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony, involving four alleged victims, including three who prosecutors say were underage girls. The charges cover allegations from 1998 to 2010.

In May, a grand jury indicted him with 11 more charges pertaining to one of those four accusers. Those charges included not only aggravated criminal sexual abuse but also more serious charges aggravated criminal sexual assault, a Class X felony, and criminal sexual assault, a Class 1 felony.

A person convicted of Class X felonies can be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. Class 1 and 2 felonies generally carry lower maximum penalties.

R Kelly to be taken to New York to face racketeering charges

Singer R&nbsp;Kelly pleaded not guilty to 11 <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/r-kelly-charged-with-new-felony-sex-assault-abuse-counts-report-223007">new felony counts of sexual assault and abuse</a> at a Chicago court hearing on Thursday after prosecutors expanded an indictment against the Grammy Award winner dogged by abuse allegations for decades.

The new counts, unveiled last week in an indictment by a Cook County grand jury, involve alleged abuse of a victim between the ages of 13-16, according to documents posted on the Chicago Sun-Times' website.

The allegations centre on someone identified only as J.P., with no other details provided. The alleged crimes allegedly took place between May 2009 and January 2010.

Kelly, 52, could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on the new charges.

The R&amp;B singer has denied abuse allegations for decades. In 2008, he was tried on child pornography charges and found not guilty.

It was not clear from the charging document whether the new counts are related to recent allegations, but Kelly's lawyer Steve Greenberg said they were not.

R. Kelly "was NOT charged with a new case. He was recharged in an existing case, same alleged victim and time (a decade ago) It changes nothing," Greenberg wrote on Twitter after the jury returned the indictment last week.

"These are the same conduct, just charged differently, the same alleged victim, same time frame, same facts. We expect the same results," he wrote.

In February, Kelly pleaded not guilty to charges that he sexually assaulted three teenage girls and a fourth woman. The charges were brought after seven women including his ex-wife, appeared on a Lifetime television documentary and accused him of emotional and sexual abuse.

The singer, known for such hits as 'I Believe I Can Fly'&nbsp;and 'Bump N' Grind,'&nbsp;spent a weekend in jail on the sex charges before being released on $100,000 bail on Feb. 25

R Kelly charged with new felony sex assault, abuse counts: Reports

&nbsp;A woman who accused R Kelly of sexual abuse has won a civil case by default against the singer after he failed to respond to her lawsuit and was a no-show in court.

The woman, who accused Kelly of repeatedly having sex with her when she was 16 years old, filed the case in Chicago in February, a day before Kelly was arrested on 10 charges of sexual abuse.

She is one of four accusers - three of whom were underage at the time of the alleged crimes - at the centre of the criminal case against Kelly, according to her lawyer, Jeffrey Deutschman. She is identified as "HW" in criminal court filings.

A Chicago judge on Tuesday entered a default ruling against Kelly, according to court records, after he did not respond to the lawsuit and missed the hearing.

The judge, Moira Johnson, will hear from the victim at a hearing next month before determining how much Kelly should pay in damages.

Kelly's criminal defence attorney, Steve Greenberg, said he was not involved in the civil litigation and declined to comment.

Prosecutors say Kelly, 52, sexually assaulted three teenage girls as well as a woman. Kelly, who has faced similar allegations for decades, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied any wrongdoing.

He was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008.

The lawsuit said Kelly first met the woman when she was 16 years old and initiated a sexual relationship that lasted for more than a year.

Kelly, whose first name is Robert, is an R&amp;B star known for hits like 'I Believe I Can Fly'&nbsp;and 'Bump N' Grind.'

R Kelly's accuser wins judgement in suit singer failed to answer

In a bizarre twist to an already complicated case, two women who say they are in a relationship with R Kelly have defended the R&amp;B singer and in a tearful interview broadcast on Thursday accused their own parents of trying to extort money from the performer. The singer is facing&nbsp;criminal allegations for sexually assaulted teenage girls. 
 
The parents of the two women, Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage say their daughters, 21 and 23 respectively, have been brainwashed by Kelly, 52.&nbsp; 
"I`m crying because you guys don`t know the truth," Clary said as she sobbed during the interview with CBS. Clary called her father "very manipulative," and accused her parents of telling "lies for money." 
 
"If you can`t see that you`re ignorant and you`re stupid," she said. 
 
Kelly, who was in the room during the women`s interview, pleaded not guilty last month to charges that he sexually assaulted three teenage girls and a fourth woman. 
 
He has denied similar abuse allegations for decades. He was tried on child pornography charges in 2008 and found not guilty. 
 
The new charges were brought after a Lifetime television documentary series featured interviews with seven women, including his ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, who accused him of emotional and sexual abuse.&nbsp; 
 
Clary said her parents encouraged her to make "sexual videos" with Kelly when she was 17 so they could blackmail him. She also said her parents had threatened to leak naked photos of her unless Kelly sent them tens of thousands of dollars. 
 
Both sets of parents have denied ever asking for money or receiving money from Kelly. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/r-kelly-goes-back-to-jail-for-unpaid-child-support-right-after-appearing-on-tv-denying-sex-charges-201644">Also read:&nbsp;R Kelly goes back to jail for unpaid child support right after appearing on TV for a tell-all interview</a> 
 
"We never `sold` our daughter to him or anyone else ... All of the victims and parents cannot be lying," Alice and Angelo Clary said in a statement on Wednesday. 
 
Kelly was arrested in Chicago on Wednesday for owing more than $161,000 in child support to his three children with Kelly. He must pay the full amount to get out of jail, a spokesman for the Cook County Sheriff`s Office said. 
 
Kelly told CBS he has been in financial difficulties because "so many people" who had access to his bank account have stolen from him.&nbsp;"How can I pay child support if my ex-wife is destroying my name and I can`t work? How can I get paid?" he said, crying and at times appearing to become hysterical during the interview. 
 
Andrea Kelly`s attorney declined to comment on the allegation.&nbsp; 
 
The singer`s next child support hearing is set for March 13 and his next court date on the sex abuse charges is scheduled for March 22.&nbsp;
