Chris Brown has been arrested in Paris on suspicion of rape, French police told Reuters.
Brown, his bodyguard and a friend were detained on Monday (January 21st) after a 24-year old woman claimed that she was raped at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on rue Saint-Honoré on January 15th. The woman said that she met the men at the nightclub Le Crystal in Paris earlier that night.
As of Tuesday (January 22nd), Brown is still in custody.
UPDATE: The woman who accused Chris Brown has detailed her alleged experience with French magazine, Closer.
“It’s still too difficult for me to explain in detail what he did, but it was brutal and violent,” she said (via French-to-English translation). “He was threatening and aggressive. I was very afraid.”
“The only wish I had was to go home. I was too scared,” she continued. “It was three muscular men, aggressive and menacing. I could not do anything. I am traumatized, I can not overcome what happened to me and resume my habits. It’s horrible, I’m lost.”
