Chris Brown may have claimed on YouTube that he "ain't no monster," but his guilty plea certainly suggests the contrary. Brown pled guilty to one felony count of assault against his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna. Brown entered the plea as the pre-trial process was set to begin, the Associated Press reports.
