US singer Chris Brown is facing serious legal trouble after being charged with grievous bodily harm with intent by the Metropolitan Police. The charge is linked to an alleged assault that reportedly occurred in a central London nightclub on February 19, 2023. In the early hours of Thursday morning, authorities apprehended the 36-year-old artist at a hotel in Manchester following his arrival via private jet. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in front of Manchester Magistrates' Court on Friday. Adele Kelly, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, confirmed the charge, stating, “We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.” She emphasized that “criminal proceedings against this defendant are active” and affirmed his entitlement to a fair trial. Despite his legal challenges, Brown is currently on tour, with more performances lined up across the UK in June and July.
