Grammy-winning R&B star R. Kelly ("I Believe I Can Fly"), jailed Wednesday in Chicago on 21 counts of child pornography, was released Thursday after posting a $750,000 bond. As a condition of his release he was ordered to have no contact with minors unrelated to him,

Kelly, 35, was arrested on Wednesday at the central Florida home he and his family have rented for several months because of a videotape he allegedly made with an underage girl.
If convicted, the musician, who is also embroiled in a few lawsuits in which he is accused of having sex with underage girls, could face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $100,000 fine, He has denied the charges, stating that he is not the man in the video (which reportedly has had brisk sales on street corners around the country and on the Internet).

Kelly is married to a former dancer from his touring group. He was married briefly to singer Aaliyah in the mid-'90s; she was 15 at the time but lied about her age to get the marriage license, and that union was annulled. Aaliyah died in a plane crash last August.
