Hollywood Rocked By Scandal As Marilyn Manson Accused of Sexual Assault of a Minor

A new scandal is rocking Hollywood after Marilyn Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, was accused of sexual assault of a minor. A lawsuit accuses the rock star of grooming and sexually assaulting an underage girl multiple times in the 1990s. His record labels, Interscope and Nothing Records, are named as defendants in the suit.

“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,” the lawsuit claims. 

“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*ck off of my bus’ and threatened Plaintiff that, if she told anyone, he would kill her and her family.”

The lawsuit alleges Manson convinced the girl to travel to a New Orleans concert where the suit says he  “groomed” her.

“Defendant Warner then became more aggressive and again sexually assaulted Plaintiff, including kissing, biting her breast, oral copulation, and penetration.

“After the second assault, Defendant Warner acted in a kinder manner nicer to Plaintiff and told her that he wanted to see her again.

“Throughout the tour and while within the State of New York, when Plaintiff was with Defendant Warner both on concert days and on off days, Defendant Warner coerced her to have sex with him.

“Defendant Warner often coerced Plaintiff to have sex with him and other band members or his assistant at the same time. Defendant Warner controlled what Plaintiff could do, who could touch Plaintiff, and who he wanted Plaintiff to be with sexually, all while providing Plaintiff with drugs.

“Defendant Warner openly called her racial slurs and called her fat. 

“At other times, Defendant Warner told Plaintiff she was beautiful and confided in her some of his most personal secrets. 

“Plaintiff saw Defendant Warner almost every day (except when his fiancée was in town), before, during, and after his shows.”

Warner’s attorney, Howard King, said Warner “does not know this individual and has no recollection of ever having met her 28 years ago. He certainly was never intimate with her.”
