PARIS — Lawyers have issued very different takes on a formal meeting in Paris that was supposed to take place Tuesday between an alleged rape victim and American singer-songwriter Chris Brown. Brown’s French lawyer says he told authorities Brown could not make the meeting and would reschedule it. The woman’s French lawyer, Jean-Marc Descoubes, said Brown was not legally obliged to attend the meeting but it was needed to investigate the case. “Chris Brown does not want to escape his responsibilities,” Chiche said. French police detained Brown and the two others in January on potential charges of aggravated rape and drug infractions.
