Chris Brown has been arrested on suspicion of rape in Paris.

The 29-year-old rapper is being held by French police along with two others, the Associated Press report.

Brown was detained on Monday and remains in custody, according to authorities. One of the men arrested is Brown’s bodyguard.

The arrest comes after a 24-year-old woman filed a report claiming Brown had sexually assaulted her in his hotel room between January 15 and 16.

The American musician previously pleaded guilty to the assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
