State District Judge Donna King granted Kelley a $50,000 bond after she determined that his due process rights were violated during the 2014 investigation by the Cedar Park Police Department. The decision was made weeks after a three-day hearing that took place in the first week of August.

Kelley left Williamson County Jail Tuesday afternoon.

In 2014, Kelley, now 22, was convicted in the sexual assault case which led to his 25-year prison sentence.
