Marilyn Manson Sexually Abused Teen On Tour Bus In 1995: Nassau Lawsuit

MINEOLA, NY — Singer Marilyn Manson has been sued in Nassau County Supreme Court on allegations of "childhood and adult sexual abuse, sexual battery, assault and molestation," after a woman said he sexually assaulted her on a tour bus when she was 16 in 1995.

The woman, identified as "Jane Doe,"brought the lawsuit forward as part of the New York Adult Survivors Act. She said she met Warner after a Dallas concert, and that he invited her onto the bus, according to the filing.

According to the lawsuit, Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, was "using his role, status, and power as an adult and performer in the music industry to gain access to, groom, manipulate and exploit Plaintiff, resulting in sexual assault in two separate incidents."

While on the bus, she said Warner, 54, performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct upon the girl. The suit said that Warner then ordered her off the bus and threatened to "kill her and her family" if she told anyone.

The suit also claims that for several weeks on the road with the group, she took drugs and spent hours with Warner, where he'd "groom, harass and sexually abuse" her, according to the court documents.

Warner's attorney Howard King told Patch in a statement: "Brian 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. She has been shopping her fabricated tale to tabloids and on podcasts for more than two years. But even the most minimal amount of scrutiny reveals the obvious discrepancies in her ever-shifting stories as well as her extensive collusion with other false accusers."

The woman has "suffered humiliation, shame, and horror that she will continue to suffer for the rest of her life," the suit claims.

The victim, who is from Maryland, is represented by attorney Jeff Anderson.

Warner's Interscope Music Publishing and Nothing Records are also named in the lawsuit.

Warner's former girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Wood, and another woman brought a defamation case against him in California.
