Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty to UK Assault Charges, Trial Set for 2026

American R&B star Chris Brown formally pleaded not guilty Friday to assault charges stemming from a 2023 London nightclub incident. The Grammy-winning singer appeared at Southwark Crown Court alongside co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, with both denying allegations of actual bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon during the Tape nightclub altercation.

The 34-year-old performer, currently on £5 million ($6.7 million) bail, spent nearly a week in custody last May following his arrest at a Manchester luxury hotel. Judge Tony Baumgartner permitted Brown to continue his international tour schedule, which includes European dates through summer 2024. Under strict bail terms, Brown risks forfeiting his substantial bond if he fails to appear for future court proceedings.

Court documents reveal the charges relate to a February 2023 incident at Tape, an exclusive Mayfair members’ club. Prosecutors allege Brown struck a victim multiple times with a bottle before pursuing, punching and kicking the individual. The singer previously denied a more serious charge of attempted grievous bodily harm during a June hearing.

Supporters packed the courtroom gallery during Friday’s proceedings, with Brown acknowledging fans by waving and blowing a kiss before departing. His legal team maintains the musician’s innocence, characterising the allegations as exaggerated. Akinlolu, Brown’s 39-year-old co-defendant, similarly pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The complex case faces significant delays typical of UK crown court proceedings, with a potential trial date set for October 2026. Legal analysts note the three-year gap between incident and trial reflects both evidentiary challenges and court backlogs. Brown’s high-profile history, including his 2009 assault conviction involving ex-girlfriend Rihanna, adds scrutiny to the current case.

As the legal process continues, Brown remains free to perform internationally while complying with bail conditions. The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for November 2024, where prosecutors will outline their evidence against both defendants.
