A look back at Chris Brown's decadelong history of legal troubles

Chris Brown has been accused of rape in Paris.

While charges haven’t been filed against the 29-year-old singer and rapper, the latest is part of a decadelong series of legal trouble he’s been in.

Brown was in custody over suspicion of aggravated rape and drug-related infractions, a spokesman for the French judiciary told the New York Times.

However, TMZ has reported that Brown has now been released without charge and is “free to leave France.”

The Forever singer was arrested Monday after a 24-year-old woman filed a complaint against him, Closer magazine reported.

The woman’s complaint reportedly says that the group headed to the Mandarin-Oriental Hotel after meeting at Le Crystal nightclub.

French officials added that charges have not yet been filed against the performer, though he reportedly could face charges of aggravated rape and drug infractions. Investigators have two days to decide whether to pursue the case or release the men.

A representative for Brown told the New York Times he did not have enough information on the situation to comment. However, Brown posted this on Tuesday afternoon:

Next month marks 10 years since Brown, a promising young talent at the time, with hits like Run It! and Kiss Kiss, brutally assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna at a pre-Grammys party.

Since then, it’s been one thing after another — falsifying his community service for the felony conviction, having a restraining order filed against him by model Karrueche Tran, allegedly threatening another woman with a gun, claims that he sucker-punched a paparazzo, and illegally possessing an exotic monkey, among many others.

2009 – Assaulting Rihanna

On the way home from a pre-Grammy Awards party in February 2009, Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend, Rihanna.

According to reports, he tried to push the singer from a rented Lamborghini, slammed her head into the car window and repeatedly punched her in the face.

He pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault. His plea deal included counseling, community service and five years of probation instead of jail time. He completed his probation in that case in 2015.

2011 – 2014: In and out of trouble with the law

2011: The rapper stormed out of a Good Morning America interview when Robin Roberts asked about his assault conviction. When he returned to his dressing room, he threw furniture around and broke a window. He also reportedly confronted members of the show’s production staff and exited the building — shirtless.

June 2012: During a night out at W.I.P. nightclub in NYC in June, Brown reportedly got into a bottle-throwing brawl with hip-hop rival Drake and their entourages over Rihanna. Brown fled the scene before police arrived; neither star was charged. However, two months later, both Brown and Drake were sued for $16 million by Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (the owner of W.I.P. and Greenhouse nightclubs) as a result of their fight. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2013, and the men later made nice.

January 2013: Brown got into another altercation with another singer, Frank Ocean. It took place at the Westlake Recording Studio in West Hollywood over a parking space. Police were called, but when they arrived Brown was gone. It was reported that a member of Brown’s entourage used a homophobic slur against Ocean, and Brown allegedly punched Ocean and threatened to shoot him. No charges were filed.

February 2013: Brown violated his probation by falsifying his community service records. Prosecutors said Brown was not where he was told to be in order to carry out community service but was instead performing or traveling (once via private jet to Cancun). As a result, he was given 1,000 extra hours of community service.

June 2013: A female club-goer claimed Brown assaulted her, alleging that he pushed her off a stage in San Diego. Brown’s camp denied it.

Also that month, Brown was charged with hit-and-run after allegedly driving a car that rear-ended another car a month earlier in L.A. His probation was revoked.

October 2013: Brown and his bodyguard were charged with felony assault after brawling with another man outside the W Hotel in Washington, D.C., at 4:30 a.m. Brown headed to rehab soon after, but it didn’t last. He checked out after an episode that included throwing a brick through the window of his mother’s car.

February 2014: Brown and his bodyguard were sued for $3 million over the Washington, D.C., fight.

Also that month, during his court-ordered stay in rehab (apparently at another facility), Brown was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD.

March 2014: After Brown was kicked out of court-ordered rehab (for reportedly refusing drug tests and inappropriately touching female clients), he was sentenced to 131 days in jail for his probation violation. He was in jail from mid-March to early June.

September 2014: Brown pleaded guilty to punching a man in the face outside a Washington, D.C., hotel the year before — an assault that occurred during his probation for attacking Rihanna.

2015 – 2016: A series of misdemeanor cases

January 2015: Brown’s probation was revoked when a judge learned the singer traveled out of L.A. to San Jose without prior consent and was at a nightclub where five people were shot and wounded.

May 2015: Brown was named in a misdemeanor battery case in Las Vegas after a man claimed the singer hit him during a dispute at a basketball game at the Palms Casino Resort. The man later declined to press charges.

July 2015: Brown was detained in the Philippines when there was a fraud investigation over his cancellation of a New Year’s Eve concert several months earlier after being paid to perform. He was later allowed to leave the country.

December 2015: The singer cancelled his tours of Australia and New Zealand after being refused an entry visa over his history of domestic violence. Brown took to Twitter, saying: “I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness on domestic violence, I am not the pink elephant in the room anymore. My life mistakes should be a wake-up call for everyone. Showing the world that mistakes don’t define you.”

January 2016: Brown is investigated for misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor theft by police in Las Vegas after a woman claimed that he beat her and stole her cellphone during a party at the Palms Casino Resort. Brown’s rep called the charges “unequivocally untrue.”

June 2016: Brown’s former manager sued him in California claiming Brown assaulted him in a “drug-fuelled rage” in May 2016. Brown wrote on Instagram, “N***as is getting mad … because I fired them, because they’re stealing money.” The lawsuit is ongoing.

August 2016: Brown was arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon after a standoff at his L.A. home. He was arrested and subsequently released when a woman called police claiming that he threatened her with a gun. The case didn’t move forward due to lack of evidence.

2017 – present: Restraining orders and more allegations of battery

February 2017: Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, filed for a restraining order against him after alleged death threats. The model claimed Brown texted her violent threats, such as “B**** I will beat the sh** out of you.” The order was later made permanent in June.

April 2017: Brown allegedly sucker-punched a 28-year-old club photographer in Tampa, Fla., during an appearance at AJA Channelside. The photographer claimed Brown attacked him while he took photos at the venue.

May 2018: Attorney Gloria Allred filed a lawsuit with Brown and rapper Young Lo (Lowell Grissom Jr.) as defendants with a plaintiff, Jane Doe, claiming she was raped at Brown’s home in February 2017. While Grissom was accused of the sexual assault, not Brown, it took place at Brown’s home and he allegedly supplied partygoers with drugs. The woman, who said she was trapped at the house against her will, also claimed she was forced to perform sex acts on other people, including a woman who was menstruating, according to TMZ.

July 2018: Brown was arrested for felony battery after a concert related to an outstanding felony arrest warrant over an alleged attack on a photographer at a nightclub in Florida in 2017.

December 2018: Brown was charged with two misdemeanor counts stemming from his possession of an exotic pet monkey without a permit. He had posted a photo of his daughter, Royalty, cuddling with the capuchin monkey, Fiji, on social media in January, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife agents took it away soon after. He’s scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 6.

Jan. 22, 2019: Brown is questioned by Paris police on aggravated rape and drug-related infractions, according to reports. Two other men in his entourage are being accused as well. French officials have two days to decide whether to pursue the case or release the men. He takes to Instagram on Tuesday afternoon to post, “This B**ch Lyin’.”
