A woman, named Jane Doe, has filed a lawsuit against singer Chris Brown and two others after she was allegedly held down and sexually assaulted at his home.

The woman claims Brown held a party in his home on February 23, 2017, in which his friend, Lowell Grissom Jr, also known as Young Lo, and an unnamed woman, "Doe X", forcibly held her down and forced her to perform sexual acts, reports People magazine.

She is suing Brown and his two friends for sexual battery, battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress among other charges.

However, the singer's lawyer Mark Geragos has told the woman's lawyer, Gloria Allred, sought 17 million dollars, and he denied Brown had done anything.

"In another era, we might have called this a shakedown. None of these allegations are true. Nobody has done anything with this. there's no case here. Chris is a target," Geragos said of the lawsuit.

In her complaint, Jane Doe also stated that she saw Brown and his one friend with multiple guns inside the home.
