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 police are still investigating the case, the French
prosecutor’s office added.
Chris 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.
In 2016, Brown was arrested in Los Angeles after a woman
said he had pointed a gun at her. Brown denied any wrongdoing.
A rape conviction in France can carry a sentence of 15
years.
