LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles woman filed a lawsuit against Chris Brown and a fellow rapper, alleging she was repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted at Brown's home during a drug- and alcohol-fueled party last year.

The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, said she was lured to the singer's house following a concert at a nightclub on Feb. 23, 2017 and was raped several times by Lowell Grissom, who performs under the name Young Lo.

"This is one of the most horrific cases involving alleged sexual assault that I have ever seen," Gloria Allred, one of three lawyers representing the woman, said in a statement.

"Our client, Jane Doe, has been severely traumatized by what she was forced to suffer."

Brown and Grissom's publicists could not be immediately reached for comment.

The pop star over the years has had several brushes with the law.

In 2016, he was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon after a bizarre hours-long standoff with police in Los Angeles. - AFP
