Chris Brown is RELEASED without charge by French police after woman accused him of ‘brutal and violent’ rape in Paris hotel

American R&B star Chris Brown was released without charge after being held for questioning overnight in Paris after a woman accused him of rape.

Brown and two other people, thought to be his bodyguard and a family friend, were released on Tuesday evening in Paris after a woman accused him of a ‘brutal and violent assault’ at a hotel.

The Grammy award-winning singer was detained Monday on potential charges of aggravated rape and drug infractions. 

The Paris prosecutor’s office said the investigation is ongoing, while the singer’s lawyer Raphael Chiche said his client ‘energetically’ proclaimed his innocence.

Earlier today a model said she was allegedly raped by three men including American rapper Chris Brown during a drug-fuelled party that turned ‘violent and brutal’ in his five star hotel in Paris.

The horrifying ordeal is said to have happened at the Mandarin Oriental in the centre of the French capital, where suites can cost more than £19,000-a-night.

It was allegedly in the exclusive hotel that the 24-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says she was attacked by Brown, his bodyguard and a family friend.

On Tuesday night, all, including 29-year-old Brown, remained in custody at a Paris police station facing the threat of criminal charges that could see them imprisoned.

In a post on Instagram rapper Brown appears to deny the accusation saying it is ‘false’, ‘disrespectful’ and ‘against my character and morals.’ 

In an interview with French Closer magazine, the woman said she met Brown ‘through a friend’ who works at the Crystal Lounge nightclub on the Champs Elysee.

‘This friend asked me what I was doing the next day, and if I would like to meet Chris Brown,’ said the woman, who finally met the rapper on January 15.

‘I said yes and the next day, on Tuesday, I had an appointment at 11.30pm at the Mandarin Oriental hotel to meet the rapper. At the reception of the hotel, I found myself with friends of his and other girls. We went up to his suite to pick him up and we all went to a nightclub called ‘The Quay’.
