American R&B singer Chris Brown has now filed a legal complaint for defamation after he was accused of raping a woman in Paris.
According to Raphael Chiche, “Chris Brown has lodged a complaint with the Paris public prosecutor for slanderous accusations, so that an investigation can be conducted, in particular so that light can be shed on the conditions under which this young woman was brought to lodge a complaint against him and, also, check her motivations.”
He further added that, “Chris Brown affirms that there was no sexual relationship with the complainant.”
The singer denied the accusations and was released after one night in police custody and no charges were brought against him.
The arrests were first reported by Closer magazine, 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 Grammy-award winning musician pleaded guilty to assaulting singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, in 2009 in an incident that made headlines around the world when a photo of her bruised face was released.
