Marilyn Manson accused of sexual assault of a minor in new lawsuit

In a new lawsuit, an anonymous woman has accused rocker Brian Warner, better known by the stage name Marilyn Manson, of grooming her and sexually assaulting her multiple times in the 1990s when she was underage.

The woman, identified as “Jane Doe,” submitted the suit in Nassau County Supreme Court on Long Island, with Warner and his former labels Interscope and Nothing Records listed as defendants, according to Rolling Stone. In the suit, the plaintiff accuses Warner of sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress and accuses the labels of negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

This Jane Doe says she met Warner after a concert in Dallas in 1995, when she was 16 years old, below the age of consent in Texas. She alleges Warner invited her and a younger girl onto his tour bus, asked them for their ages and school grades, and made a note of their home addresses and phone numbers.
