As Marilyn Manson is finally seeing his day in court after being accused by multiple women in February of a myriad of abuses, things are getting complicated. A California judge dismissed of one of four sexual abuse lawsuits against the rock star this week — showing just how difficult it is for women to find justice against their accusers.
On Tuesday, Judge Gregory Keosian sustained Marilyn Manson's (legal name Brian Warner) objection and dismissed a suit by a woman listed in court documents anonymously as Jane Doe. The suit alleged both rape and a threat against her life after the two began a relationship in 2011. The judge cited that the claims of repressed memories were not detailed enough to invoke the "delayed discovery" rule that would overturn the statute of limitations.
