Chris Brown has taken legal action against the woman who had accused him of raping her in Paris, his lawyer has confirmed.
Chris Brown’s lawyer in France, Raphael Chiche, filed a defamation lawsuit on January 24 against the woman who accused the Forever singer of raping her in his hotel suite in Paris on January 16. The criminal complaint is titled “false accusation, committed on January 18, 2019.”
The complaint, according to documents obtained by TMZ, appears to be “more than a civil defamation case.” The lawyer cites a criminal statute that relates to invasion of privacy; violating that law could mean a maximum one-year prison sentence.
