Rihanna is scheduled to face her former lover pop star Chris Brown in court after he was charged with assault. Chris Brown recently went on youtube and Bow Wow's Justin.tv channel to proclaim his innocence via video and tell his fans "I Ain't A Monster".

Rihanna's lawyer has said that the pop star will appear at a hearing next month as a possible witness in the assault case against Chris Brown.

The singer's attorney, Donald Etra has told prosecutors that Rihanna will be summoned by the court to testify during a preliminary hearing at a Los Angeles court on June 22.

A judge yesterday also rejected a motion by Brown's lawyers to receive police and investigative records in the case. The judge told Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos the motion was 'premature' and could file it again after the preliminary hearing.

Defendant: Chris Brown faces a maximum of four years in prison

Brown last appeared in court in April, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of felony assault and making criminal threats.

If convicted, Brown faces anywhere from probation to a maximum four years and eight months in state prison, DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

The charges stem from a bust-up between the pair almost a month ago on February 8, the morning of the Grammy Awards.

Brown and Rihanna were scheduled to perform but had to pull out in mysterious circumstances.

Later in the day, Brown turned himself into West Hollywood police after he was accused of assaulting a female in his car.

Yesterday new footage showed the singer Rihanna has thrown herself into her work since returning to the spotlight.
