A new plaintiff has sued shock-rock singer Marilyn Manson, alleging sexual assault of a minor.
The suit, filed on Monday by a Jane Doe in Nassau County, New York, claims that the singer, born Brian Warner, assaulted her multiple times while she was a teenager in the 1990s. While other plaintiffs have sued Manson for alleged sex abuse incidents that took place well after his rise to fame, this suit alleges that Manson’s abuse stretched back to the very early days of his career, and names his record labels Interscope and Nothing as co-defendants.
“Defendant Warner first targeted Plaintiff in 1995 when she was 16 years old, using his role, status, and power as an adult and performer in the music industry to gain access to, groom, manipulate and exploit Plaintiff, resulting in sexual assault in two separate incidents,” the suit claims. “Defendants Interscope and Nothing Records were aware of Defendant Warner’s practice of sexually assaulting minors, and aided and abetted such behavior.”
