The Los Angeles Times has reported that singer Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to assault charges and criminal threats. The singer appeared in Los Angeles County Superior Court Monday afternoon.
The RNB singer is accused of assaulting his girlfriend and singer Rihanna that happened almost two months ago.
The court has scheduled a preliminary hearing on April 29.
“I believe there are efforts by all of the parties to resolve the case expeditiously and fairly,” said Rihanna’s lawyer, Donald Etra.
The lawyer also said that there are ongoing plea negotiations between the prosecutors and Brown.
Rihanna is currently in her hometown Barbados and is spending time with her family. An L.A. Country spokesman said that Rihanna has asked the authorities to return the jewelry that was taken from her as evidence.
