R Kelly is back in custody, this time over several federal sex crimes.

As TMZ reports, the R&B artist was arrested in Chicago on Thursday on charges of child porn and obstruction of justice.

The arrested follows a court appearance in June where he pled not guilty to 11 felonies related to sexual assault and various abuse.

It was alleged last month that Kelly forced himself on someone in 2010 who was under the age of 18 at the time.

Controversial documentary series Surviving R Kelly aired in Australia back in February, and shortly after Kelly appeared in court on multiple sexual abuse charges, before being taken into custody a month later due to unpaid child support.
