R.Kelly has been moved from Brooklyn jail to Chicago ahead of his trial.
This comes two weeks after he was sentenced in New York to 30 years in prison for racketeering and s3x trafficking.
He is now back in Chicago federal jail awaiting his second criminal trial next month.
The 55-year-old disgraced R&B star was transferred Tuesday from where he was being held Brooklyn to Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Kelly was first held at the correctional after he was indicted on federal charges in Chicago and New York in 2019. Jury selection for his federal trial in Chicago is set to begin Aug. 15.
He is accused of allegedly conspiring with two associates to rig a child p3rnography case in Cook County in 2008 and hide a slew of s3xual assault allegations against minors.
Kelly was convicted in 2021 in New York on charges that he s3xually abused young fans, including children, in a systematic scheme that prosecutors alleged went on for decades.
