Chris Brown (born Christopher Maurice Brown on May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, dancer and actor.
In 2008, Brown's musical setbacks were partially attributed to a domestic assault. At around 12:30am on February 8, 2009, Brown and his girlfriend and fellow R&B singer Rihanna had an argument which escalated into physical violence, leaving Rihanna with visual facial injuries which required hospitalization. Brown turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department's Wilshire station at 6:30pm and was booked under suspicion of making criminal threats. On August 25, Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and six months of community service; the judge retained a five-year restraining order on Brown, which requires him to remain 50 yards away from Rihanna, and 10 yards at public events.
