Chris Brown Under Investigation For Alleged Rape In France

Chris Brown is in custody in Paris after being accused of rape.

French officials tell The Associated Press that the Grammy-winning singer was arrested Monday (Jan. 21) on potential charges of aggravated rape and drug infractions and remains in custody. Investigators have two days to decide whether to let him go or file preliminary charges.

A 24-year-old woman claims Chris Brown raped her on the night of Jan. 15-16th after meeting at a nightclub in France. The woman filed a complaint to the police claiming that Brown invited her to his hotel room at Le Mandarin Oriental along with another woman. However, in her testimony, she claims that she ended up in a single room with Chris Brown where she claims she was raped.

Breezy was detained along with two other unidentified people, including his bodyguard, and let go by Parisian authorities.

Brown had been in Paris for Fashion Week, where he attended the Yohji Yamamoto show. His attorney, Mark Geragos, has yet to comment on the investigation.

UPDATE:

Now, according to TMZ, it's become clear why Parisian authorities let Brown go with no charges.

The media site has a source directly connected to the case who stated,  "The weakest part of the case is the alleged victim's statement to police." The accuser claimed Brown raped her for about a half an hour in a secluded room. Then, she claims she went into another room and was raped by one of Brown's friends. Then, she said she was "abused" a the third time in another room. Police are having a hard time believing the story due to the fact that she never raised an alarm, asked for help, or tried to escape through three alleged sexual assaults. While the investigation is still ongoing, Brown is staying in the same hotel.
