Note: This article contains an alleged sexual assault.
A judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a woman who accused Marilyn Manson of raping her and threatening to kill her, according to TMZ reports and documents consulted by Pitchfork. The judge argued that the allegations set forth in the lawsuit “are not sufficient to invoke the delayed discovery rule.” The woman, who said she started dating Manson in 2011 and only identifies herself as Jane Doe, has 20 days to modify the lawsuit with additional details.
Manson is actively facing three other lawsuits. A former aide sued Manson for sexual assault, drumming and harassment in May. In April, actress Esmé Bianco sued Manson for sexual assault and sexual drumming. In June he was sued by model Ashley Morgan Smithline for sexual assault, sexual drumming, intentional infliction of emotional distress and illegal imprisonment. He was also named alleged abuser by actress Evan Rachel Wood earlier this year.
This month, Manson pleaded not guilty in New Hampshire to two felony counts of simple Class A misdemeanor assault, arising from an incident during his August 18, 2019 concert at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion. Manson has recently made a prominent appearance in Kanye West’s third Donda event at Soldier Field in Chicago.
