London: US singer Chris Brown, who assaulted ex-girlfriend Rihanna last year, has made further progress while on probation, a judge in Los Angeles has heard. Brown has completed his 300 minutes of community service - roughly a fifth of the amount he is required to perform said his attorney, reports the BBC news. He had also attended all but one of 52 mandatory domestic violence counselling sessions, said lawyer Mark Geragos. Brown, 21, is due back in court on 26 August for another status hearing. He was sentenced to five years of probation last August and also six months of community labour after he was found guilty of assaulting Rihanna in their car on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards. He later apologised saying that was "very sad and very ashamed" of his actions. Patricia Schnegg the Superior Court Judge said on Thursday ‘it appeared the singer was making progress and requested a formal probation report.` ANI
