Singer Chris Brown has been arrested in Paris after a woman filed a rape complaint against him.

Two police officials told the Associated Press (AP) that Brown and two other people are in custody, after arrests were made on Monday.

One of the officials said that one of the other men is Brown's bodyguard.

A French police source also told Reuters that the singer had been arrested on suspicion of rape.

Brown has previously been accused of assault, violent threats, stalking, and sexual assault. His ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran has a permanent restraining order against him.

Brown pled guilty to and was convicted of felony assault of Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, in 2009.

In February 2009, Brown assaulted Rihanna during an argument that led to "visible injuries" and her hospitalization.

He was sentenced to serve five years probation and more than 1,400 hours in "labor-oriented service. He also had to undergo domestic violence counseling.

Representatives for Brown declined to comment to the AP.

INSIDER has contacted French officials for further details.
