Rihanna to reduce restraining order against Chris Brown

Melbourne, (ANI): R&B singer Rihanna has reportedly agreed to reduce a restraining order against ex-beau Chris Brown, two years after he was charged with assaulting her.

According to E! Online, the Barbadian's lawyer, Donald Etra, said that the singer has requested the order be reduced to a level one. The new order says that the two can have contact as long as Brown doesn't annoy, molest or harass her, reports News.com.au.

Brown's lawyer will still have to go to court to have the order officially modified. In June 2009, Brown, then 20, pleaded guilty to assault and accepted a plea deal that included community service and five years' probation.
