A civil lawsuit against Marilyn Manson has been brought back to life after a change in California law, reopening a case that had repeatedly been dismissed on technical grounds.
The ruling, made by a Los Angeles judge recently, allows a former assistant to pursue long-standing allegations against the rock musician years after the alleged abuse took place. It marks a fresh legal challenge for Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, and highlights how new legislation is reshaping the legal landscape for sexual assault survivors.
