american singer Marilyn Manson was the subject of a complaint in New York for sexual assault of a child. which would have occurred in 1995, a case opened thanks to a judicial counter which temporarily allows to judge this type of case prescribed up to now.
The artist, named Brian Warner, 54, is accused of raping a 16-year-old girl, whom he met after one of his concerts, when he was 26, early in his career, and of manipulating and abusing her until 1999 under the aegis of music executives and with the collaboration of its partners.
The complaint also involves the artist’s record labels, Interscope Music and Nothing Records, which are accused of “celebrating and promoting” Warner’s “pedophile obsessions and violent behavior” “for their collective financial gain”.
The document indicates that the complainant was a virgin when Manson first raped her on the tour bus and in the presence of a member of his band, adding that then he humiliated her, threatening to kill her and her family if she told anyone and he kicked her out badly.
Despite this, the singer reached out to the victim to chat with her, ask for explicit photos for her fan club, and invite her to more concerts, which led her to travel to “numerous cities and states, including New York,” and to be invited to the backstage area and the tour bus.
In 1999, during about four weeks of touring, Manson allegedly again forced sex with the then 19-year-old victim, and “often” forced her to do it with “him and other band members or his assistant at the same time”.
“As is typical of a sexual predator, defendant Warner continued to exercise power and authority to maintain control over the complainant. As a result (…) of his continued oppressive behavior, the complainant was unable to defend themselves and to get out of the abuses”, he adds.
The complaint also indicates that, in 2021, the victim posted her story online and faced retaliation, and believes the defendant and his wife are turning to a YouTube channel that disparages women who have accused him of abuse to seek to silence her.
The controversial artist has been accused of sexual and psychological abuse by more than a dozen women in recent years, including the actress Evan Rachel Woodwhich he has always denied, assuring that his relationships have been “consensus with like-minded couples”.
