LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge says Chris Brown doesn’t have to stay away from Rihanna anymore.
Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg on Tuesday downgraded a restraining order issued in Brown’s felony assault case that had kept him at least 50 yards from her except during public events.
A restraining order remains in place, forbidding Brown from annoying, harassing or stalking his ex-girlfriend.
