and he has also proclaimed his client's innocence, steve greenberg, coming very hard out, saying that the victims he says are liars, or that they were at the age of consent at the time. denying what had been said in court. in court, one of the state's attorneys talked about some of the details. very graphic details. i will not get into all of them. i will give you just a little bit of an idea of what is being said. they said that in one case, there was a woman who was of age, but she was a hairdresser, r. kelly had asked to be able to go back and get his hair done, and then he came out with his genitalia out of his pants, and asked her to perform oral sex, for example. she says she resisted. and so she is one of the victims who has come forward to the state's attorney's office. we also heard about three other girls who the prosecution says were not of age, were under the age of 17, one of whom talked about being spit on, and slapped, and also being engaged by r. kelly in sexual acts as well. as this was going on, the families inside, there was at least one family whose daughter is wit

but we've heard from his attorney, who is steven greenberg, speaking out to the media outside the police station. what did he have to say on his client's behalf? >> reporter: so he basically came outside of central booking right after his client was booked. he was there with him. we saw him at central booking as r. kelly was walked into the police department. we do know that he was given the option of whether to turn himself in or not. but we asked him, of all these allegations over all these years, including the ones that are now charges against r. kelly, what does he think? does he think these women are lying? here's how he responded. >> do you think these women are lying? >> yes. >> all of them? >> i think all the women are lying, yes. one of the charges appears to involve the same alleged victim from the earlier case, and double jeopardy should bar that case. and he won that case. a jury heard the facts of that case. a jury acquitted him fair and square. it's over. >> reporter: we pushed back because obviously the state's attorney believes otherwise, or else they would not have broug

kelly's attorney, steven greenberg. he told us today that he knows nothing about this, that he has not been contacted by anyone, he has not been contacted by authorities and nor has his client, and he has no knowledge of any kind of new tape. he said this, grand jury proceedings are by law supposed to be secret, so to the extent people are commenting on what may or may not be going on today are possibly violating the law. still, he says, i can tell you that i am unaware of any proceedings. brooke. >> okay. 14, huh? all these allegations -- >> that's how she refers to yourself. >> sarah, thank you very much on the investigation into r. kelly in chicago, thank you. >>> right now we are awaiting for president trump to deliver his speech on the political situation in venezuela. he'll be speaking from south florida. the president arrived there friday after declaring a state of emergency and the backlash and in doing so came fast and furious. we'll have both the latest on the legal and political battles currently under way. >

kelly having a very difficult time with their finances, according to his own attorney, steve greenberg, who talked at length about the fact that he doesn't just have $100,000 lying around, he can't access it very quickly. so we don't know when and if he's going to be able to post bail. >> so to be clear about that, he is still in custody right now, and if he can't come up with that 100,000, he would remain in custody until he can, is that correct? >> that is absolutely correct. and so at this point, i'm sure there is a scramble to figure out how to come up with that kind of money. there is no one in the justice system who would like to stay put in jail, but certainly, they are trying to figure out how to get that money and how to get mr. kelly out of jail. he is actually in the sheriff's custody now. he was in police custody. we watched as he turned himself in at central booing last night around 8:15. our photographers were there when he came first to his studio and then went into a fan with some folks that had also come outside the studio. and we have learned now that two of the peopl

attorney -- i don't know what yellow pages, what billboard he got this low rent attorney from, steve greenberg, who continues to use the most misogynist -- he is from the 1980's. it is surprising to me. well, not surprising. r. kelly squandered $200 million fortune settling lawsuits over creating anyears, ecosystem where he is moving up to five and six girls across state lines constantly come hahaving to feed them when he ds allow them to you. i'm not surprised he was not able to post bail. i'm not surprised he has the kind of attorney that he does right now. i am just worried about the two girls that remain with him that he had sitting behind him in court the other day when he did -- when he was unable to post bond. the twoking about girls, both of whom's family week featured in the documentary. he brought them to court to say to us in the world that not only is he remorseful, but that he is going to show off -- like he is going to flaunt, in this moment, when he is facing 10 counts, 10 new counts, he is going to bring to girls that are 30 years younger than him, one of them he raping,sleepin
