Chris Brown arrested after rape allegation: US singer in custody in Paris

S singer Chris Brown has been arrested in Paris following a rape accusation, police said today.

French officials said Brown and two others are in custody after a woman filed a rape allegation in northwest Paris.

The R&B singer is accused of raping a woman in a five star hotel after meeting her in a nightclub.

The arrests were first reported by French tabloid Closer, which said the three were arrested after a 24-year-old woman alleged she was raped at Brown's hotel suite on the night of January 15.

Police said one of the others held is Brown's bodyguard.

The singer was arrested on Monday and remains in custody while police probe the complaint.

The woman is said to have followed the singer to his hotel room where the incident allegedly occurred.

Prosecutors in the French capital confirmed that the 29-year-old faced criminal charges after the alleged sex attack a week ago.

“He is accused of a rape and is being held at the judicial police offices in the 1st arrondissement,” said a prosecuting source.

“He was arrested with two others on Monday, and interviews and other enquiries are ongoing. The offence is said to have taken place on the night of January 15 this year.”

The complainant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she met Brown at a nightclub and then returned to his hotel with other women and a total of three men.

“The woman said she was abused by Mr Brown, a bodyguard, and a friend, and then she was left alone with the star,” said another source in Paris.

“A total of three men were arrested at Mr Brown’s hotel. They did not resist police, and now have lawyers representing them.”

Many of the MSM outlets are reporting that he was “detained.”

The international press is reporting that he was arrested.

Let me guess, she went to his hotel suite at 2 AM, but thought she was merely going to meet his mother.

Whoever he is, he should have just said he was a muzzie, and it would have been ignored and forgotten in France and all over the world.

Brown is a fine citizen who only beats up women he knows.

He was a singer in the 90’s I think.

The early 90’s are kind of a blur—work, kids, moving, more work...

Has she never heard his rap music? Was she not aware of his expectations and perceptions of young women?

Don’t get me wrong. Rape is wrong and I favor the beheading of rapists when found guilty in a just legal system. At least public castration.

I imagine she went to his hotel room because she wanted an autograph and nobody had a pen at the club or in the lobby.

Ladies, don’t put yourself in dangerous situations with reprobates of ill repute.

So she went to his hotel room, and then a week later files a rape allegation?

Did she really think he wanted to show her his etchings?

Too bad he’s not Muslim. Maybe it’s not too late to convert.
