Marilyn Manson faces new charges. A complaint has been filed for “sexual abuse, sexual assault and touching” on a minor woman at the time of the facts. According to the magazine Rolling Stone the victim filed the complaint anonymously, under the name of “Jane Doe”. The case, filed in the Supreme Court of Nassau County, United States, includes counts of sexual violence and intentional infliction of emotional distress against the American singer. The victim, now an adult, accuses Marilyn Manson, real name Brian Hugh Warner, of having abused her in 1995, when she was only 16 years old. She says she was approached by Warner after a concert in Dallas, Texas, where the age of consent is set at 17. The singer then invited him to board the tour bus before committing “various acts of criminal sexual conduct on the complainant”including “forced copulation and vaginal penetration” under the eyes of a member of the group indicates the lawsuit.
Victim, who was a virgin at the time, claims Brian Hugh Warner “made fun of her” while she was “scared, humiliated and lost”. He then threatened to “kill her and her family“, before asking him to “get the hell out of the bus”. “Jane Doe” adds a second complaint to her file, accusing the singer of having assaulted her a second time, in 1999, and of having done everything to have a psychological hold on her. She also accuses Nothing Records and Interscope, the artist’s former labels, of having turned a blind eye to his behavior.
