Chris Brown Issues Statement

has issued a statement one week after his arrest for allegedly attacking girlfriend

The following statement was issued on Sunday by a spokesman for Chris Brown:



"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writing under my name are frauds."

Brown, 19, was arrested and charged with making criminal threats after reportedly assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, 20, last Sunday.

The R&B star faces jail time if he is found guilty.

According to Rihanna's father, she is currently on the mend in Barbados.
