Detained in Paris: Singer Chris Brown in French custody on rape complaint
Singer Chris Brown, who has a well-documented history of domestic violence and assault allegations and convictions, is currently being detained in northwest Paris, France, on a rape complaint. He and two other individuals are in French custody after a woman filed a rape complaint against the three, according to a January 22 report from CBS News.
One of the other two individuals detained is Brown’s bodyguard. The official charge being levied against the three suspects is aggravated rape. Brown is also looking at some potential drug charges, above and beyond the rape complaint.

Brown, once revered by fans for his range of singing styles that spanned gospel to rap, fell out of favor with most of the general public after being convicted of beating up his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. Since pleading guilty to felony assault in that case, Brown has continued with a history of bad behavior that includes:
The woman who filed the complaint said she met Brown and his friends overnight Jan. 15-16 at the club Le Crystal in the 8th arrondissement near the Champs-Elysees, and then they all went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel near the Concorde Plaza in central Paris, according to the [judicial] official. ~ The Columbus Dispatch
Brown remains in French custody pending the outcome of the police investigation. The Dispatch went on to report that, “Investigators have another two days to decide whether to let him go or file preliminary charges.”
