Chris Brown's plea on his Washington hotel assist has been rejected, so he is headed for trial. Chris was close to copping a plea but the deal fell apart because the prosecutor and Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, couldn't agree on a statement of fact about the events leading to the alleged assault.



Chris has said all along ... he didn't attack the alleged victim last year outside a hotel.

If Chris had pleaded guilty to assault, he would not have to serve any additional time in jail.  However, it looks like he is going to trial so jail is on the line again.

A trial date has been set for September.  Brown's bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, has already been convicted of the assault.
