Summary
A California judge denied Marilyn Manson's latest attempt to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed by his former assistant Ashley Walters. The ruling came five months after the case was revived under California's new AB250 law, which provides a two-year lookback window for older sexual assault claims. Manson's lawyer argued the allegations didn't qualify under the new law, but the court refused to toss or trim the claims in Walters' third amended complaint.
