Earlier this week, R. Kelly was arrested after a court hearing about unpaid child support. After being bailed out by a female “friend” two weeks before on charges of sexual abuse, the singer has once again been released after an unknown donor paid off the $161,000 in back child support.

Sophie Ansari, spokeswomen for the Cook County Sheriff’s Office said that in the wee hours of Saturday morning, the money was posted by an unknown source.
