R. Kelly is regarded as one of music's all-time hit makers, but the years of sexual abuse allegations against the embattled R&B star have created a dark cloud over his musical legacy. Some believe Kelly's career is in serious jeopardy once again after being charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving four females, including three minors. A Chicago judge set the singer's bond at $1 million Saturday after he turned himself in to police the day before.   After being acquitted on child pornography charges more than a decade ago, Kelly's new criminal charges might be too hard for his career to overcome.

On Thursday morning (Feb. 21),  Jussie Smollett  was  indicted by Chicago police  on suspicion of filing a false report.
