Legendary R&B singer R. Kelly has been reportedly placed on suicide watch after he was found guilty of federal sex crimes last month. The Chicago Tribune reports that this was revealed during a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, the singer’s attorney, Steve Greenberg, told U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber that, “after he was found guilty the singer was placed under suicide watch,” but that has since been lifted.

On Sept. 27, Kelly was found guilty of one count of racketeering rooted in alleged sexual exploitation of children, kidnapping, and forced labor, and eight counts of violating the Mann Act, which essentially criminalizes prostitution across state lines.
