Marilyn Manson has faced several allegations in recent years. Now a new lawsuit has Marilyn Manson accused of having sexually assaulted a minor in 1995.
According to the new lawsuit, Manson’s alleged victim was only 16 at the time. As shared via Fox, the individual’s identity is being kept anonymous at this time. Though it’s said that she had met Marilyn Manson after one of his concerts held in Dallas.
However, Manson’s attorney, Howard King, shared the following statement. He insists that Marilyn Manson, real name Brian Warner, does not know the individual that’s accused him.
“Brian Warner does not know this individual and has no recollection of ever having met her 28 years ago. He certainly was never intimate with her. She has been shopping her fabricated tale to tabloids and on podcasts for more than two years. But even the most minimal amount of scrutiny reveals the obvious discrepancies in her ever-shifting stories as well as her extensive collusion with other false accusers.”
Howard King also continued by saying that Manson “will not submit to this shakedown, and the courts won’t fall for it either.”
“If anyone actually compares the vicious lies in the new complaint with the contents of prior interviews this woman has given to the press and on podcasts, the remarkable inconsistencies will demonstrate why this misguided action will not survive legal examination. Brian will not submit to this shakedown, and the courts won’t fall for it either.”
Specifically, the lawsuit accuses Manson of “sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress,” while his former record labels, Interscope and Nothing Records, are accused of “negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
Jane Doe’s attorney, Karen Barth Menzies, had the following statement:
“This lawsuit goes beyond the named predator and targets the record labels that packaged and profited from their artist’s criminal behavior, and it is an indictment of the music industry for maintaining a culture that celebrates, protects and enables sexual predators,” said Menzies via People Magazine.
