Marilyn Manson Cleared Of Charges In Sexual Assault Investigation

Los Angeles County District Attorney announced on Friday that Marilyn Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, will not face charges following a lengthy investigation into allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence. The decision was made based on the age of the allegations and insufficient evidence to support criminal charges.

The investigation, which began nearly four years ago, involved incidents that allegedly occurred between 2009 and 2011 in West Hollywood, where Manson resided at the time. Despite the search warrant served at his residence and the collection of extensive evidence, prosecutors determined that the statute of limitations for domestic violence had expired, and there was not enough evidence to prove sexual assault beyond a reasonable doubt.
