Court Dismisses Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Marilyn Manson
Written by SOURCE on September 16, 2021
Embattled shock rocker Marilyn Manson is facing one less legal battle—at least for now.
According to TMZ, a judge has dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit against the 52-year-old artist, citing the accuser’s inability to explain how or why her memories of the alleged rape were repressed until 2021. The plaintiff—identified as Jane Doe—sued Manson back in May, claiming he had sexually assaulted her throughout their relationship 10 years ago.
Manson’s ex-girlfriend accused him of being a “serial sex offender” who would force her to have sex with him on a regular basis. She claimed the sexual activity was so brutal at times she was left with bruises and emotional distress.
“Ms. Doe — like many victims of sexual assault — repressed the memories of her rape until 2021,” read the complaint, filed by her attorney, Tracey B. Cowan. “Accordingly, her claims did not accrue until earlier this year, and thus are timely, regardless of the applicable statute of limitations.”
