An unspecified sexual assault allegations dating back to 2011 against musician Marilyn Manson has been dismissed by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office on Friday.
A police report was filed against Manson this May where the shock rocker had been accused of raping a woman in 2011 which are now being made public for the first time.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is currently investigating and reviewing a number of sexual misconduct claims made after the rise of the #MeToo movement last year and according to a report documents from the DA’s office reveal that the case was declined due to “expired statute of limitations” and an “absence of corroboration” for the sexual assault claim.
“It is not surprising that the District Attorney, after investigation, summarily rejected the claims made in a police report filed by a former acquaintance against Brian Warner p/k/a Marilyn Manson”, wrote Manson’s attorney, Howard E. King, Esq.
“The police report that spurred the investigation was accompanied by the woman’s press release and other attempts to generate publicity that fraudulently claimed she was held captive by Mr. Warner for 48 hours in 2011. Any claim of sexual impropriety or imprisonment at that, or any other, time is false”, He added.
This is not the only claim Manson has faced. As reported in February, former House actress Charlyne Yi also made public allegations of sexual harassment and racism toward Manson.
He has remained silent and continues what has proven to be a controversial US tour co-headlined by Rob Zombie.
