Police arrested Richards Monday after he’d been accused of sending over 40 files of child sex abuse material through the online messaging app Kik on July 14.

After his arrest, a judge set his bond for $4,000, which court records show Richards paid on Wednesday.

In Thursday’s hearing, a judge said Richards would be released from jail after he surrendered his passport and four guns. Richards also mentioned in court that he would hire his own attorney.

Richards faces charges of 13 counts of child exploitation and one count of child pornography possession. In total, he could serve anywhere from 28 to 156 years in prison if convicted.

His next hearing was set for Sept. 10, and his jury trial for Oct. 21.
