U.S. singer Chris Brown, who was arrested in Paris on Monday with two other persons on suspicion of rape, has been released from police custody, the French prosecutor’s office said.
The arrests were first reported by Closer
magazine, which said Brown, his bodyguard
and a friend were detained after a 24-year-old
woman alleged she was raped at the singer’s
suite at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on the
night of Jan. 15.
The woman said she had met the men at a
Paris nightclub earlier in the evening,
according to the magazine.
Neither Brown nor his agents responded to
requests for comment.
Brown, 29, whose previous legal troubles
include assaulting singer Rihanna in 2009, had
remained in custody on Tuesday, a judicial
source said.
Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting then-
girlfriend Rihanna in an incident that made
headlines around the world when a photo of
her bruised face was released.
