Marilyn Manson's Ex-Assistant Wins Appeal to Sue for Sexual Harassment and Assault

Court rules delayed discovery rule applies, allowing Ashley Walters to proceed with her case despite initial dismissal due to statute of limitations.

Marilyn Manson's former assistant, Ashley Walters, has won an appeal allowing her to sue the musician for sexual harassment and assault.
The case was initially dismissed due to exceeding the two-year statute of limitations, but the appeal court ruled that the delayed discovery rule applies as Walters claims her memories were suppressed until 2020 due to trauma.
Walters alleges Manson subjected her to physical and psychological abuse, including sexual assault, harassment, and forced drug use.
Manson has denied all allegations and several other cases against him have been dismissed or settled.
The case will now return to the trial court for further litigation.
