Chris Brown pleads guilty to affray over bottle attack
Prosecutors dropped three more serious charges after Brown admitted affray, and he will be sentenced on Oct. 26, court officials said.
- On Friday, R&B singer Chris Brown pleaded guilty to affray at London's Southwark Crown Court regarding a 2023 incident at a Mayfair nightclub, with sentencing set for October 26.
- Prosecutors dropped charges of assault, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, and possession of an offensive weapon in exchange for the plea, resolving Brown's initial denial of the 2023 incident involving Abraham Diaw.
- Senior Crown Prosecutor Claire Campbell said, "This was a vicious and unprovoked attack by Brown and Akinlolu in a crowded nightclub where Brown used a glass bottle as a weapon to strike the victim." Co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu also pleaded guilty to affray.
- Released on bail again Friday, Brown remains subject to conditions established at earlier hearings, including a £5 million security fee and the requirement to surrender his passport during international travel.
- Fans gathered outside the court on Friday, with one shouting "I love you Chris" as the 37-year-old arrived; Brown, who earned a Grammy earlier this year for "11:11 ," awaits his October sentencing.
