Marilyn Manson Won’t Face Sexual Assault Charges As L.A. DA Cites Statute Of Limitations

Newly elected Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Friday, “We have determined that allegations of domestic violence fall outside of the statute of limitations, and we cannot prove charges of sexual assault beyond a reasonable doubt.” Authorities had spent four-plus years investigating “The Beautiful People” and “The Dope Show” singer Manson (real name Brian Warner) after the multiple claims of sexual assault and abuse.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detectives raided Manson’s West Hollywood apartment in late 2021. Along with Wood and Bianco, he had been accused by other women including a former assistant who alleged sexual harassment, abuse and battery.
