Marilyn Manson: US judge reopens sexual assault case against musician

Singer's former assistant alleges he sexually assaulted her when she worked for Manson Records between 2010-2011

A judge in Los Angeles has reinstated a lawsuit against heavy metal star Marilyn Manson under a new law enabling old sexual assault cases to be heard in court.

The lawsuit, filed in May 2021 by a former assistant to the musician, had been dismissed in December because it exceeded the statute of limitations, a maximum time period for initiating legal proceedings after the related events took place.
