US Singer Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty to Lesser Assault Charge in UK Court
 
																								
												
												
											U.S. singer Chris Brown on Friday pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault causing actual bodily harm by allegedly attacking a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub two years ago.
The 36-year-old appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court on Friday, where he spoke only to confirm his name and enter his pleas of not guilty to causing actual bodily harm and a further charge of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
Brown’s co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, 38, also pleaded not guilty to the charge of causing actual bodily harm, having previously denied attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm.
The pair’s trial is due to begin on October 26, 2026.
Around 20 supporters sat in the public gallery behind the dock during Friday’s short hearing, with two saying “we love you, Chris” as he left the court.
Brown was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England in May after returning to Britain for the first time since the incident two years ago.
