Manson has denied the allegations. "Obviously, my life and my art 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," he wrote in a statement in February. "Regardless of how — and why — others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth."

Manson is reportedly facing three lawsuits. In May, his personal assistant Ashley Walters sued the "Coma White" singer for sexual exploitation and Ashley Morgan Smithline sued him in June for sexual assault, sexual battery and human trafficking. A fourth lawsuit filed by a woman going by "Jane Doe" was dismissed in September as the statute of limitations had expired.
