According to a French official, "The woman who filed the complaint said she met Brown and his friends overnight Jan. 15-16 at the club Le Crystal in the 8th arrondissement near the Champs-Elysees, and then they all went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel near the Concorde Plaza in central Paris"

It's being reported that it's at that hotel where the alleged rape is said to have taken place and one of the other men accused is Chris Brown's bodyguard.

French police can only hold Chris Brown and the other accused men for another two days before they're released or charged, so we'll keep you up to date with the ongoing news from this story as soon as we get it.
