News Update: Chris Brown has been released from police custody and he won’t face any charges at this time.

Singer Chris Brown has been released from police custody and he won’t face any charges at this time, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

Singer Chris Brown was released without charge after being held for questioning overnight in Paris after a woman accused him of rape.

He was free to go on Tuesday night after 24 hours of questioning by magistrates and judicial police in the capital.

A French model insists that she was raped by three men including Brown during a drug-fuelled party.

The rape allegation is said to have happened after they arranged to meet Chris Brown at his hotel room at the Mandarin Oriental in the centre of the French capital, where suites can cost more than £19,000-a-night.
