Marilyn Manson officially under police investigation

Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are investigating domestic violence allegations against Brian Warner, better known as rocker Marilyn Manson, involving incidents that occurred about a decade ago, when Warner resided in West Hollywood.

The Los Angeles county sheriff’s department, special victims bureau is investigating allegation[s] of domestic violence involving Mr Brian Warner also known as ‘Marilyn Manson’, who works in the music industry, a department statement said.

The department, which provides police services to West Hollywood, gave no further details.

Word of the investigation came less than three weeks after actor Evan Rachel Wood publicly accused her ex-fiance of sexual and other physical abuse, alleging she was “manipulated into submission” during their relationship.

Manson, 52, called her allegations “horrible distortions of reality”.

Wood, who stars on HBO’s Westworld, had previously spoken about being abused in a relationship but did not name the person until she detailed the allegations on Instagram.

Named Manson on Instagram

Wood, who stars on HBO’s Westworld, had previously spoken about being abused in a relationship but did not name the person until she detailed the allegations on Instagram.

The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn MansonHe started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years, Wood said.

Wood, now 33, and Manson’s relationship became public in 2007 when he was 38 and she was 19, and they were briefly engaged in 2010 before breaking up.

Horrible Distortions of Reality

Manson responded to Wood’s allegations with his own Instagram post the same day.

Obviously my art and life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth, his post said.

In 2018, Los Angeles county prosecutors declined to file charges against Manson over allegations of assault, battery and sexual assault dating to 2011, saying they were limited by statutes of limitations and a lack of corroboration. The accuser in that case was identified only as a social acquaintance of Manson.

He denied the allegations through his attorney at the time.
