Marilyn Manson faces more sex abuse allegations

The suit, which alleged Manson first targeted the unnamed plaintiff when she was 16 in 1995, came less than a week after the singer, whose real name is Brian Warner, reached a settlement with the actor Esmé Bianco, who sued him in April 2021, alleging rape and sexual battery.

That suit came amid multiple allegations of abuse from other women, prominently including the actor Evan Rachel Wood.

He did not immediately comment on the new suit, which was filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act.

Signed by the New York governor, Kathy Hochul, last May, the act gives alleged victims of sexual assault a window of time in which to sue regardless of when the crime allegedly occurred. Without the act, the claims would be barred from being brought forth by filing deadlines known as statutes of limitation.

The writer E Jean Carroll sued Donald Trump under the act, over her allegation that he raped her in a department store in the mid-1990s, which the former president denies.

Interscope and Universal Music, a parent company to the now defunct Nothing label, did not immediately comment.
