Headline: Marilyn Manson's former assistant revives sexual assault lawsuit
Caption: Ashley Walters' civil claims against Manson (real name Brian Warner) first came to court in 2021, were later dismissed, reignited on appeal, and then again dismissed as untimely in December 2025. But the case was brought back to life on Monday, when Judge Steve Cochran reopened the case due to a new California law, Billboard reports. Assembly Bill 250, which came into effect on 1 January, opens a two-year window for alleged victims of sexual abuse to file otherwise time-barred lawsuits against their perpetrators.
