Marilyn Manson sued over sexual assault of a minor
The singer of “Rock is Dead,” whose real name is Brian Warner, has been charged with grooming, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress on an underage girl on numerous occasions in the 1990s.
His former record labels, Interscope and Nothing Records, have also been named as defendants in the lawsuit, which was filed by the alleged victim, who is now an adult, using the alias Jane Doe.
The woman claimed in the lawsuit that she first met Manson in 1995 after a concert in Dallas when she was 16, a year under Texas’ age of consent, and claimed he invited her “and one of the other younger girls” onto his tour bus, where he allegedly asked their ages and school grades before taking down their addresses and phone numbers.
The woman also claimed that the record labels were negligent and intentionally inflicted emotional distress on her.
The suit alleged: “While on the tour bus, Defendant Warner performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct upon Plaintiff, who was a virgin at the time, including but not limited to forced copulation and vaginal penetration.
“One of the band members watched Defendant Warner sexually assault Plaintiff.
“Plaintiff was in pain, scared, upset, humiliated and confused. After he was done, Defendant Warner laughed at her. … Then Defendant Warner demanded Plaintiff to ‘get the f*** off of my bus’ and threatened Plaintiff that, if she told anyone, he would kill her and her family.”
After the alleged incident, Jane Doe, who later started abusing drugs and alcohol, claimed she was given the singer’s phone number and password so she could meet him again. She also claimed that the ‘Dope Show’ hitmaker used to call and chat with her online, asking for explicit pictures of her and her friends.
She stated she was convinced to attend a concert in New Orleans later that year after the singer convinced her to do so by praising her work.
According to the complaint, which Rolling Stone magazine was able to receive, “Defendant Warner then got more hostile and assaulted Plaintiff sexually once more, biting, kissing, and penetrating her.
“After the second assault, Defendant Warner acted in a kinder manner nicer to Plaintiff and told her that he wanted to see her again.”
