(CNN) R. Kelly will be arraigned in a federal court in New York on August 2, a prosecutor for the US attorney's office in Chicago said Friday.

US Marshals will take the singer from Chicago to New York, Assistant US Attorney Joseph Fitzpatrick said.

Kelly has been in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago since last week after he was indicted in Illinois and New York and arrested.

A five-count indictment handed up in the Eastern District of New York accuses Kelly of sexual exploitation of a child, kidnapping, forced labor, and the coercing and transportation of women and girls in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual activity.

Fitzpatrick said in an email to CNN that Kelly will appear in New York, then be returned to Chicago. He is scheduled to be in a federal court in Chicago on September 4 for a status hearing.
