Lawyer accuses Chris Brown of 'disrespect' in rape case - Fox News

Rapper Chris Brown arrested in Paris, faces charges of aggravated rape and drug violations

Chris Brown, his body guard, and a friend were arrested by Paris police officers after a twenty-four year-old woman alleged that the singer raped her in his hotel room. If convicted he faces a fifteen year prison sentence.

The lawyer for a woman who filed a rape complaint in Paris against Chris Brown says the American rap artist "has thumbed his nose at and shown disrespect for the French legal system" after he did not attend a formal confrontation with the alleged victim.

CHRIS BROWN SUES PARIS RAPE ACCUSER FOR DEFAMATION

Brown was arrested in Paris in January then released from custody without charges pending further investigation of the woman's allegations that he raped her at the French capital's Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The Grammy winner called the accusations false.

American lawyer Gloria Allred said Brown's "failure to appear today is very unfair to my client, but I assure him that my client will not be deterred from seeking justice."
