LIVE: R Kelly appeared in court to plead not guilty to new charges

Embattled singer R. Kelly returns to court Thursday morning where he is expected to plead not guilty to a long list of new charges.

Thursday's hearing comes one week after prosecutors announced nearly a dozen new counts of sex related felonies. The new charges include four aggravated criminal sexual assault charges.

Each charge carries a maximum prison term of 30 years. Prosecutors said the sexual abuse had been going on for years.
